ABSTRACT

A general application of 1-acyl-3-hydroxy-1H-pyrazoles 5 as useful acylating agents for alcohols or phenols, amines and hydrazines is described. The use of a hydrazide for a direct acylation of an alcohol in the presence of 4-ethoxymethylene-2-phenyl-5(4H)-oxazolone (1) is also discussed.
