Abstract
The azo coupling of dimethylphenacylsulfonium bromides (I) with N-nitrosoacetanilides in nonaqueous solvents, and with diazotized aniline in aqueous media gave 2-bromophenylglyoxal 2-arylhydrazones (V) and the tetrazine (VI), respectively. V reacted with nucleophiles displacing the bromide. Treatment of V with bases gave VI via benzoylphenylnitrilimine (X). 1,3-Dipolar cycloadditions of X onto ethyl acrylate and acrylonitrile afforded the expected cycloadducts. The mechanisms of the reactions are outlined.
