Om. Singh et al., SYNTHESIS OF NOVEL -4-METHYLTHIO-6-(ARYLCYCLOPROPYL)-3-(1H)-PYRIDONESAND 5(3)-METHYLTHIO-3(5)-(ARYLCYCLOPROPYL)PYRAZOLES, Indian journal of chemistry. Sect. B: organic chemistry, including medical chemistry, 36(11), 1997, pp. 1056-1058
Reactions of cyclopropyl compounds 1 with cyanoacetamide in the presen
ce of sodium isopropoxide in refluxing isopropanol afford the novel py
ridones 2. Similarly, when compounds 1 are reacted with hydrazine hydr
ate in refluxing ethanol, novel 5(3)-methylthio-3(5)-cyclopropylpyrazo
les 3 are obtained in high yields.
