Regioselective synthesis of diazaspiro[4.4]nona‐ and tetrazaspiro[4.5]deca‐2,9‐diene‐6‐one derivatives

Abstract

Abstract magnified image Several 1,2‐diazaspiro[4,4]nona‐2,8‐diene‐6‐one derivatives were synthesised via cycloaddition of nitrilimides to 3‐aryliden‐2(3H)‐furanone derivatives. The formed products react with hydrazine hydrate to give the corresponding pyrazolecarbohydrazide derivatives which undergo intramolecure cyclization upon treatment with HCl/AcOH mixture to affored 1,2,7,8‐tetrazaspiro[4.5]deca‐2,9‐diene‐6‐one derivatives. Molecular mechanics energy minimization techniques and related structural parameters for compound 8‐(4‐methylphenyl)‐1,3,4‐triphenyl‐7‐oxa‐1,2‐diazaspiro[4.4]nona‐2,8‐diene‐6‐one 5a are reported.
