Reaction of arylidene derivatives of Meldrum's acid with 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole

The condensation of arylidene derivatives of Meldrum's acid with 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole in nitrobenzene leads to 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazolo 1,5-a]pyrimidin-5-ones. In DMF the reaction proceeds with the formation of arylsubstituted N-(2H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-3-(2H-1,2,4-triazol-3-ylamino)propionamides.
