Studies With Functionally Substituted Heteroaromatics: A Novel Route for the Synthesis of 1-Aryl-6-oxopyridazinones, 1-Arylpyridazine-6-imines and 1-Aryl-6-imino-4-pyridazinals

Abstract

Aryldiazonium salts couple with the 3-dimethylamino-1-substituted enones 1 a-c to yield 2-arylhydrazono-3-oxo-3-substituted-propanals which are excellent precursors for the synthesis of pyridazinones. The coupling reaction of 2-cyano-5-dimethylamino-3-substituted-penta-2,4-dienonitrile 12 a-b with benzene diazonium salts in ethanolic sodium hydroxide gives the pyridazinals 13 a, b.
