The Knorr pyrazole synthesis is an organic reaction used to convert a hydrazine or its derivatives and a 1,3-dicarbonyl compound to a pyrazole using an acid catalyst. NH2-PEG3-C2-Boc supplier 1196154-13-8 Data Sheet The mechanism begins with an acid catalyzed imine formation, where in the case of hydrazine derivatives the attack can happen on either carbonyl carbon and result in two possible products. The other nitrogen of the hydrazine derivative then attacks the other carbonyl group which has also been protonated by the acid and forms a second imine group. This diimine compound gets deprotonated to regenerate the acid catalyst and provide the final pyrazole product. ^[1]
