New N-acetyl (5-8) and N-thiocarbamoyl (9-12) derivatives of 4,5-dihydropyrazole were synthesized starting from alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones under the effect of hydrazine hydrate and thiosemicarbazide, respectively. N-Thiocarbamoylpyrazole derivatives (9-12) were cyclized using either ethyl bromoacetate or phenacyl bromides to afford the novel

Reformatsky reaction of 3beta, 21-diacyloxy-and 3beta-methoxy-21-acyloxy-5-pregnen-20-one with ethyl bromoacetate yields, through an intramolecular 1,2-acyl migration, 38, 20 XI-acyloxy-14alpha-card-5-enolides were converted into the respective 20 XI-hydroxy-14alpha-card-5-enolides and the 14 alpha-carda-5,20(22)-dienolides. Experimental support to the proposed intramolecular 1,2-acyl migration is provided by
