Abstract
We develop an efficient method to synthesize novel propionyl-spaced bisheterocyclic compounds. It entails cyclocondensation of 3-(5-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)propanoyl hydrazide obtained from levulinic acid, with 1,1,1-trifluoro-4-methoxy-3-alken-2-ones proceeding regiospecifically to 1-[(5-trifluoromethyl-5-hydroxy-3-substituted-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-3-(5-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)propan-1-one derivatives.
