Abstract: | The reaction of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole ( 1 ) with substituted methyl cinnamates 2a-h leads selectively to the formation of 7-aryl-6,7-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-5(4H)-ones 3a-h . The structure eluci dation of the products is based on ir, 1H and 13C nmr measurements and X-ray diffraction. |
