A. Kotschy et al., SYNTHESIS OF AZINYLVINYLPYRIDAZINES - A GENERAL NOTE ON THE ISOMERIZATION OF HETARYLDIENAMINES, Journal of organic chemistry, 61(13), 1996, pp. 4423-4426
Azinyldienamines underwent Diels Alder reaction of inverse electron de
mand with 1,2,4,5-tetrazine diester to give azinylvinylpyridazines. Co
mparison of the products obtained from mono-, di-, and triazinyldienam
ines revealed that, in some cases, isomerization of the olefinic side
chain occurred which can be rationalized by the tautomeric conditions
of the intermediates bearing these azine moieties. These experimental
findings supported also by semiempirical calculations suggest the impo
rtance of the influence of the hetaryl group in such isomerizations.
