Sodium salts of acylhydrazones of 1,3-dioxo-compounds react with acylc
hlorides yielding (E)-beta-keto-enehydrazides (as a result of N-acylat
ion). The respective acetylacetone and aroylacetone N-acylderivatives
showing the equilibrium between (E)- and (Z)-isomers convert into 1-ac
yl-5-acyloxy-2-pyrazolines.
