The cyclization of 4-azido-3-phenylpyridazines and 7-azido-6-phenyl-tetrazolo [1,5-b]pyridazine by heating with strong acids like methanesulfonic acid affords 5H-pyridazino[4,3-b] indoles or 10H-tetrazolo[1′,5′:1,6]pyridazino[4,3-b] indoles, respectively, whereas the conventional photochemical or thermolytic methods fail.
