D. Hurtaud et al., Epoxy imidates highly reactive precursors of epoxy acylamidrazones, 3,5-diaminopyrazoles and 3,4-dihydro-2,2 '-biquinoxalines., SYNTHESIS-S, (16), 2001, pp. 2435-2440
2-Cyano-2-carboximidic acid alkyl ester-oxiranes react with hydrazides and
carbazates to give epoxy acylamidrazones. Some of the last ones are precurs
ors of tetrasubstituted push-pull alkenes, which in turn can be efficiently
converted into 3,5-diaminopyrazoles. Using ortho-phenylenediamine as nucle
ophile directly affords 3,4-dihydro-2,2'-biquinoxalines.
