The 1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid 1 was converted via reactions of its acid chloride 2 with various aminophenol derivatives 3a-d into the corresponding N-(hydroxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxamides 4a-d, respectively, in good yields (34-53%). The reactions of 1 or 2 with 3 in benzene or toluene for 5-7 h with no catalytic amounts of base lead to the formation of the products 4. The structures of all new synthesized compounds were established by the C-13 NMR, H-1 NMR, IR, masss spectroscopic data and elemental analyses. The reaction mechanism of 2 with 3 was studied by means of the RHF/3-21G and RHF/6-31G method.
