Abstract
Slow distillation of 5, 5, -dimethyl-Δ2-pyrazoline isomerizes it to 5, 5-dimethyl-Δ1-pyrazoline, and heating the latter with hydrazine hydrochloride reconverts it to the Δ2 isomer. This is the first experimental evidence that the Δ2 double bond in a pyrazoline can move to the Δ1 position, i. e., in a direction the reverse of that previously known. The 5, 5-dimethyl-Δ1 -pyrazoline described is the simplest Δ1 pyrazoline hitherto isolated.
