  • Patent number: 5663366
    Abstract: The subject matter of the present invention is directed to a process for producing 4,5-diaminopyrazole derivatives of the general formula (I) ##STR1## where R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 independently designate hydrogen, a C.sub.1 - to C.sub.6 -alkyl radical or a C.sub.2 - to C.sub.4 -hydroxyalkyl radical, which can be used as dye precursors, for example for hair dyes, and to new pyrazole derivatives.When using the process according to the invention good yields of isomer-pure 4,5-diaminopyrazole derivatives of general formula (I) can be obtained.
