A facile intramolecular cyclopropane ring formation was accomplished by the reaction of heterocyclic aldehydes bearing alkenylamino moieties with tosylhydrazine in less polar solvents. The thermally induced isomerization of hydrazone to azomethine imine and its intramolecular cycloaddition reaction leading to a pyrazolodine derivative was suggested as a key step for the cyclopropane ring formation.
