Ay. Soliman et Ia. Attia, SYNTHESIS OF HETEROCYCLIC-COMPOUNDS FROM THE AMINATION PRODUCTS OF 3-(4-PHENYLBENZOYL)ACRYLIC ACID, Indian journal of chemistry. Sect. B: organic chemistry, including medical chemistry, 36(1), 1997, pp. 75-78
Amination of 3-(4-phenylbenzoyl)acrylic acid gives 2N-(arylamino)-3-(4
'-phenylbenzoyl)propionic acid 2. Hydrazinolysis of 2 yields the corre
sponding 6-(4'-biphenylyl)-4- (N-arylamino)-2, 3, 4, 5-tetrahydropyrid
azin-3-one 3. Compounds 3 have also been prepared from hydrazinolysis
of Delta(beta,gamma)-butenolides 9 which are obtained from dehydration
of 2. The lactam reversible arrow lactim dynamic equilibrium of 3 has
been chemically investigated.
