On the syntheses and the optical properties of optically active 2-pyrazoline compounds

Abstract

Optically active 2-pyrazolines were synthesized and their optical properties were studied using various spectroscopic techniques to investigate the effects of substituents at the 3 and 5 positions of the 2-pyrazoline ring on their optical activity. It was found that in the case of 5-substituted-1,3-diphenyl-2-pyrazoline derivatives, the substituent at the 5 position has considerable influence on the optical activity, whereas in 3-substituted-1,5-diphenyl-2-pyrazoline derivatives, the substituent at the 3 position has no such influence.
