Decomposition of 3-azidopyridazine 2-oxides. Ring opening of the pyridazine ring
Abstract
Thermolysis of 6-chloro- and 6-methoxy-3-azidopyridazine 2-oxide in inert solvents gives maleo-nitrile and cis-β-cyanoacrylate, respectively; 3-azido-pyridazine 2-oxide gives the unstable cyanoaldehyde and traces of 1-hydroxypyrazol-5-carbonitrile.
