1,2,4-Triazoles. XX. Pyrolytic decomposition of ketone hydrazones derived from pyrid-2-ylhydrazine and related bases. Some further examples of the s-triazolo[4, 3-α]pyrazine and s-triazolo[4, 3-a]quinoxaline series

Pyrolytic decomposition of ketone 2-heterylhydrazones has been shown to be unsatisfactory for the preparation of fused s-triazole derivatives. The introduction of more diversified substituents into the s-triazolo[4, 3-a]pyrazine and s-triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxaline systems has been accomplished and some reactions and spectral characteristics of these ring systems are reported. Isomerization of the s-triazolo[4, 3-a]pyrazine system to the s-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrazine system is described.
