The Reaction of 1‐Phenylpyrazolidine‐3,5‐dione with Active Nitriles Using Phase Transfer Catalysis Conditions Technique

Heterocyclization reaction of 1‐phenylpyrazolidine‐3,5‐dione with some active nitriles and acrylonitriles is described. These cyclization reactions afforded novel heterocyclic derivatives such as pyrano[2,3‐c]pyrazoles, pyrazolyl‐thiazole, pyrazolyl‐1,3‐thiazines, and pyrazolyl‐1,3‐oxathiino[6,5‐c]pyrazoles. Heating 1‐phenylpyrazolidine‐3,5‐dione alone under phase transfer catalysis conditions afforded the tricyclic dipyrazolofurandione. The structure of the new products has been characterized by IR, NMR, mass spectra, and their elemental analyses.
