Conjugated azoalkenes. Part 13. Facile and high-yield synthesis of new 1-amino-3-cyano-2,3-dihydropyrrol-2-ols and 1-amino-3-cyano-1H-pyrrol-2(3H)-ones
Abstract
Cyano derivatives containing active methine hydrogen readily underwent 1,4-conjugate addition to conjugated azoalkenes, to give initially hydrazones which cyclised to 1-amino-3-cyano-2,3-dihydropyrrol-2-ols and 1-amino-3-cyano-1H-pyrrole-2(3H)-ones. Both processes took place in high yield and under mild reaction conditions.
