Fn. Burnett et Rs. Hosmane, IMIDAZO[4,5-E][1,2,4]TRIAZOCINE - A NOVEL 5 8-FUSED RING-SYSTEM RIDDLED WITH REARRANGEMENTS/, Heterocycles, 45(5), 1997, pp. 857-861
Attempts to synthesize the title 5:8-fused heterocyclic ring system re
sulted in a number of novel opportunistic rearrangements and transform
ations. There is, however, some evidence to believe that one of these
rearrangements might proceed through the transient intermediacy of thi
s ring system.
