Polyfunctional pyrazoles. 1. Synthesis of 3-aryl-1-(2-cyanoethyl)-4-formylpyrazoles and their 3-(5-methylfur-2-yl)-substituted analog

Previously unknown substituted pyrazoles were obtained by the reaction of the 2-cyanoethylhydrazones of aryl methyl ketones and 5-methylfur-2-yl methyl ketone with the Vilsmeier-Haack reagent.
