Abstract

Deprotonated 1,2-diazetines react with various ketones containing an acidic CH to yield pyridazine derivatives. The reaction allows the synthesis of dihydropyridazines containing a cycloamidine substructure via a sequence of ring-opening and recyclization. In this case, the in situ generated anion of 1,2-diazetines acts as a base as well as a chelator. The structures of the novel synthesized derivatives were confirmed by X-ray structural analysis and multidimensional NMR experiments.
