Abstract
The reaction of N1-acyl-2-ethoxycarbonylacetamidrazones with ethyl ethoxymethylenecyanoacetate (EMCA) has been examined. The acetamidrazone 1a reacts with EMCA in boiling dimethyl sulphoxide to give the 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-3(2H)-one 2 in excellent yield. Similarly from the amidrazones 1b-h the 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyridines 3b-h were obtained. When the reaction between the amidrazones and EMCA was performed in ethanolic solution, the 6-(2-acylhydrazino)-pyridines 4 were isolated. Ring closure of 4 afforded the 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyridines.Items in DSpace are protected by copyright, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise indicated.
