1-Substituted 5-aminopyrazole-4-carbonylazides were prepared from the appropriate 5- aminopyrazole-4-carboxylates. The acyl azides undergo a Curtius rearrangement followed by quenching with alcohols to form the corresponding carbamates. The 1-substituted 5- amino-4-benzyloxycarbonylaminopyrazoles were unblocked by catalytic hydrogenolysis to give the desired 4, 5-diaminopyrazoles. These 4, 5-diaminopyrazoles were immediately ...
