R. Ottana et al., HALOGENATED ISONIAZID DERIVATIVES .2. UNUSUAL SYNTHESIS OF DELTA(2)-1,3,4-OXADIAZOLINE DERIVATIVES FROM ISONICOTINOYLHYDRAZONES AND DIAZOMETHANE, Heterocycles, 38(11), 1994, pp. 2389-2399
The synthesis of a representative group of isoniazid derivatives, name
ly aryl-4-methyl-2-pyridyl-DELTA2-1,3,4-oxadiazolines (3) and 4-aryl-1
-methoxy-l-pyridyl-2,3-diazabutandienes (2) by reaction of isonicotino
ylhydrazones (1) with diazomethane is described. A mechanism for the u
nexpected formation of 3 is suggested.
