Simple answer: No.
More detailed answer: Consult a licensed electrician to find out if the air conditioner was designed to allow its connections be modified to work safely on either a 50Hz or a 60Hz service.
High currents are drawn by air conditioners so, if the connections can't be modified, a heavy and expensive transformer would be necessary to take care of the difference in the way the ground and neutral wires are connected in the 60Hz split-single-phase service compared to the way they are connected in the 50Hz straight single-phase service. Such a transformer would be heavy and expensive to buy.

Why does your air conditioner have two breakers?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.The use of two breakers supplies a voltage of 240 volts. These two breakers should be common ties together with a single handle. Your air conditioner must operate on 240 volts. To verify this check the nameplate on the unit for the voltage.
How many volts does an air conditioner operate on?
110v
How many pole breaker for air condition?
If the power requirement is 120 volts it will be connected to a single pole breaker rated at the amperage requirement of the air conditioner. If the voltage of the air conditioner is 240 volts, then a two pole breaker will be required.
How many Volts is 60 Hz?
There is no fixed connection between frequency (Hertz) and voltage, you can have 60 Hz at any voltage.
How do you rewire a European 240V welder to work on US 240V?
The following is an educated guess. 240 Volts is 240 Volts. Unless the equipment inherently depends on some aspect of the frequency for operation [50 hertz instead of 60 hertz], it should work if you simply change the plug. WHY NOT CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER FOR ITS ADVICE?!
