Pyrolysis of 4-aryl-5-amino-v-triazolines 4 affords two products: benz
anilides 5 and acetamidines 6. Pyrolysis of 4 with DMAD under argon pr
oduces 1-aza-1,3-dienes 8 and 2-pyrolines 9. The reaction mechanism of
this transformation is discussed. 2-Aminoaziridines are shown to be k
ey intermediates in this reaction.
