This invention is directed generally to a process for making substituted pyrazoles, tautomers of the substituted pyrazoles, and salts of the substituted pyrazoles and tautomers. The substituted pyrazoles correspond in structure to Formula (I): ##STR00001## wherein R.sup.3A, R.sup.3B, R.sup.3C, Y.sup.1, Y.sup.2, Y.sup.3, Y.sup.4, and Y.sup.5 are as defined in the specification.
