A facile synthesis of (Z)-and (E)-2-(5-arylpyrazol-3-yl)-3-(pyrrol-2-yl) acrylonitriles and (Z)-2- (1, 3-diarylpyrazol-5-yl)-3-(pyrrol-2-yl) acrylonitriles, and isomerisation of (Z)-2-(5- arylpyrazolyl) acrylonitriles to (E)-2-(5-arylpyrazolyl) acrylonitriles under basic conditions have been reported.(Z)-2-(1, 3-Diarylpyrazolyl) acrylonitriles did not undergo isomerisation under the similar conditions. New compounds were identified on the basis of their spectral ...
