Benzylmalononitriles react with hydrazine or hydroxylamine to give 4-substituted 3,5-diaminopyrazoles or isoxazoles, respectively. Pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives are prepared by reaction of these pyrazoles with some 2,3-disubstituted propenenitriles (including benzylidenemalononitrile) under mild conditions.
