M. Simo et al., Novel ring transformations of condensed [1,2,4]triazolo-[4,3-b]pyridazine-6(5H)-one-3(2H)-thiones effected by dialkyl-acetylenedicarboxylates, TETRAHEDRON, 57(33), 2001, pp. 7191-7198
On heating with dialkyl-acetylenedicarboxylates in DMF condensed [1,2,4]-tr
iazolo[4,3-b] pyridazine-6(5H)-one-3(2H)-thiones undergo unprecedented ring
transformations yielding novel tetracyclic 1,3-diazepines and thiazolotria
zole derivatives depending on the applied reaction temperature. The observe
d substrate selectivity was interpreted on the basis of the results of comp
arative theoretical calculations carried out at semiempirical level (AMI).
