Abstract: | The acidic decomposition of 4‐acetylsydnones arylhydrazones 2 results in the formation of 4‐arylhydrazo‐1,2‐pyrazolin‐5‐ones 3 and 4‐arylamino‐1,2,3‐triazoles 4 , respectively. The reactions of 4‐acetylsydnones 1 with arylhydrazines 5 afford compounds 3 as the only products in the absence of solvent. |
