Ar. Katritzky et al., A SIMPLE AND EFFICIENT SYNTHESIS OF 1,6-DISUBSTITUTED 1,4,5,6-TETRAHYDROPYRIDAZINES BY RING ENLARGEMENT OF 2,5-DIBENZOTRIAZOLYL-N-AMINOPYRROLIDINES, Synthesis, (11), 1998, pp. 1627-1630
1,6-Disubstituted 1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyridazines 3a-l are readily acces
sible in good to high yields by Grignard reagent induced ring enlargem
ent of 2,5-dibenzotriazolyl-N-arylaminopyrrolidines 2a-c. Compounds 2a
-c are prepared in high yields by reaction of benzotriazole with succi
nic dialdehyde and the corresponding arylhydrazines.
