Acetylacetone 15 was used to treat component 1, producing the equivalent pyridine-3carbonitrile derivative 19. This product is anticipated to form via intermediate 16, followed by water elimination to produce intermediate 17, which undergoes facile intramolecular cyclization with another water molecule elimination to generate compound 19 (Scheme 3). Based on its spectral data, the structure of the separated product was determined. For instance, the IR spectra of the resulting isolated compound 19 demonstrated the presence of a carbonyl absorption band at 1694 cm -1 and an absorption band near 2261 cm -1 that is typical of a nitrile function. Compound 19's 1 H NMR spectrum displayed three singlet signals for the three methyl groups at δ 2.08, 2.34, and 2.49, and a singlet signal for the pyridine ring proton at C-3 at δ 7.15. Additionally, the peak in its mass spectrum at m/z 245.24 (13.16%), which matched its molecular ion, was visible. Additionally, this effort included the synthesis of other pyrazolo[5,
