Abstract

1-Phenyl and 1-methyl derivative of 3-methyl-5-pyrazolone were prepared quantitatively via a scalable solvent-free reaction of corresponding hydrazine derivative with ethyl acetoacetate. Different mechanisms have been proposed for the reaction of hydrazine derivatives (methyl or phenyl) with ethyl acetoacetate and also the tautomeric aspects of the targeted compounds have been discussed.
