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
