Ev. Tretyakov et Sf. Vasilevsky, A ROUTE TO PYRAZOLYLAZOPYRAZOLO[4,3-C]PYRAZOLES VIA 1,5-DIMETHYL-3R-PYRAZOLYL-4-DIAZONIUM SALTS, Mendeleev communications, (5), 1996, pp. 190-191
1,5-Dimethyl-3R-pyrazolyl-4-diazonium salts (R = H, C=C-Ph) have been
converted into the corresponding l-4-yl)azo-1-methyl-3R-4H-pyrazolo[4,
3-c]pyrazoles 6a,b and it has been shown that the reaction proceeds vi
a 3R-pyrazolyl-4-azo)methyl-3R-pyrazolyl-4-diazonium chlorides 4a,b.
