M. Elmobayed et al., EFFECT OF SOLVENT ON THE REACTION-PRODUCT OF HYDRAZINES WITH OYL-ALPHA-[4(1,3-DISUBSTITUTED-2-PYRAZOLIN-5-ONE)] PROPIONIC ACIDS, Revue Roumaine de Chimie, 38(2), 1993, pp. 213-217
The reaction of oyl-alpha-[4(1,3-disubstituted-2-pyrazolin-5-one)] pro
pionic acids with hydrazines in acetic acid afforded the unexpected 6-
aryl-pyridazin-3-ones instead of the expected 4-pyrazolinonyl pyridazi
nones through the fission of the 1,3-disubstituted-2-pyrazolin-5-one.
A probable mechanism has been proposed. Reactions of 6-aryl-pyridazin-
3-ones with dimethylsulfate, diethylsulfate, ethyl bromoacetate, phosp
hours oxychloride and phosphours pentasulfide have also been described
.
