Abstract

The condensation reaction of 1-phenyl-3-methyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one (I) with benzaidehyde (II), p-hydroxybenzaldehyde (III),
p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde (IV) and N,N-dimethyl-p-nitrosoaniline
(V) in ethanolic media containing piperidine as base catalyst was investigated spectrophotometrically at 10-50oC. It was found that these reactions followed over-all second-order kinetics, first-order with respect to each of the reactants. The results suggest that the rate determining step involves the dehydration of the aldol intermediate (XII). From the dependence of the rate constants on temperature, the thermodynamic parameters of activation were determined and the mechanism which is consistent with the obtained data is discussed.
