K. Iwamoto et al., N-N BOND-CLEAVAGE OF 1-CHLOROPHTHALAZINE BY THE REACTION WITH YNAMINES, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 42(2), 1994, pp. 413-415
1-Chlorophthalazine reacts with two molar of ynamines to give penta-su
bstituted pyridine derivatives by N-N bond cleavage of phthalazine rin
g. We realize this is common to other halo-substituted condensed pyrid
azines.
