Various (substituted pyrazol-5-yl)acetic acids (2c, d, i-n) have been
prepared from the acid hydrolysis of respective (pyrazol-5-yl)acetonit
riles (1). The acid-catalysed condensation-cyclization of 1 with thios
emicarbazide leads to the formation of 2-amino-5-(pyrazol-5-ylmethyl)-
1, 3, 4-thiadiazoles (3a-j) which on reaction with phenacyl bromide yi
eld 6. The analogous reaction of If with 4-(thiazol-2-yl)thiosemicarba
zide in TFA affords 4. Interaction of 1 with dicyandiamide under basic
condition yields 5.
