Extrusion of sulphur in the cycloaddition of ynamines to dehydrodithizone
Abstract
Addition of 1-diethylaminoprop-1-yne to dehydrodithizone yields 3-phenylazo-5-diethylamino-4-methyl-1-phenylpyrazole, whose structure has been established by single crystal X-ray structure analysis; the formation of this compound and that of an analogous product from 1-dimethylamino-2-phenylacetylene is thought to involve the hitherto unknown acyclic valency tautomer of dehydrodithizone.
