Cross-conjugated mesomeric betaines: 3-oxopyrazolo[1,2-a]pyrazol-8-ylium-1-olate
Abstract
Carbon suboxide and pyrazole led to the title system, the parent member of a group of cross-conjugated mesomeric betaines; with 3,5-dimethylpyrazole, the corresponding 5,7-dimethyl derivative was obtained, this being sufficiently stable for physical and chemical characterization.
