Abstract

The reaction of Huisgen zwitterion, derived from triphenylphosphine and dialkyl azodicarboxylate, with diaryl-1,2-diones afforded N,N-dicarboalkoxy monohydrazones via a mechanistically novel rearrangement. Cyclic and acyclic ketones furnished vinyl hydrazinedicarboxylates under similar conditions.

Key words

betaines - diazo compounds - hydrazones - ketones - rearrangements
