The 1H‐pyrazole‐3‐carboxylic acid 2 or its remarkably stable acid chloride 3 can easily be converted into the corresponding ester or amide derivatives 4 or 5, respectively, from reaction with alcohols or N‐nucleophiles. Pyrazolo[3,4‐d]pyridazines 6a,b are obtained from cyclocondensation reactions of the pyrazoles 2 and 3, respectively, with phenylhydrazine or hydrazine hydrate, while 6c is formed in an one‐pot procedure from the furan‐2,3‐dione 1 and hydrazine hydrate.
