1-(n-Hexyl)-3-methyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one was acylated with acid chlorides. Condensation of acyl derivatives with primary amines afforded enamines. According to the ¹H and 13C NMR data, the acyl derivatives have mainly a 4-acylpyrazol-5-ol structure with intramolecular hydrogen bond, and the 4-aminomethylene derivatives exist predominantly in the enamine form stabilized by the same type of interaction.
