35. For example, ethyl 2,4-dioxopentanoate or ethyl 2,4-dioxo-4- phenylbutanoate reacted with methylhydrazine in boiling EtOH to yield a 2:1 mixture of the two regioisomeric pyrazoles. See: Schmidt, A.; Habeck, T.; Kindermann, M. K.; Nieger, M. J. Org. Chem. 2003, 68, 5977-5982.
36. In contrast, reaction between 4-(2-thienyl)-1,1,1-trifluoromethyl-1,3- butanedione and methylhydrazine in EtOH-AcOH (10:1) at reflux afforded 1-methyl-3-trifluoromethyl-5-(2-thienyl)pyrazole in 60% yield (no presence of the other regioisomer was indicated).

40. A possible alternative to the general method for the synthesis of N-methylpyrazoles entails the preparation of the N-unsubstituted pyrazole, followed by methylation with methyl iodide or dimethyl sulphate under basic conditions.

48. These authors proposed a mechanism with a sequential loss of two water molecules that could explain the observed high regioselectivity. The first loss of water would be fast, corresponding to the formation of the C=N bond conjugated with the aryl ring, whereas the second loss of water would be much slower, even requiring acid catalysis for the elimination to proceed. See ref 18g.
