A. Rykowski et al., A new synthesis of pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazines via acid promoted ring closure of the phenylhydrazones of 5-acyl-1,2,4-triazines, HETEROCYCLE, 53(10), 2000, pp. 2175
The reaction of various substituted phenylhydrazones of 5-acyl-1,2,4-triazi
nes in the presence of 1.1 equivalent of HCl in boiling ethanol-dioxane mix
ture has been studied. In all reactions the formation of the corresponding
pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazines (3a-r) takes place in good yield. The struc
tures of 3a-r were unequivocally established by spectroscopic methods as we
ll as by X-Ray analysis of selected 5-methyl-3-phenyl-7-(p-tolyl)pyrazolo[4
,3-e] [1,2,4]triazine (3a).
