1,3-Dipolar cycloadditions of diazoalkanes to pyridazin-3(2H)-ones 1–7 and pyridazin-3(2H)-thiones 8 and 9 are regioselective producing 3H -pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyridazin-4(5H)-ones 15–19, 27–29 and 34–38 as the major products. In some instances, the isomeric 3H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyridazin-7(6H)-ones, such as 20 and 23 were isolated as the minor products. From 3 and 6 the primary 3a,7a-dihydro cycloadducts 25 and 26 , and rearranged 1,2-dihydro intermediate 31 were isolated. From 10 and 1-diazoindane the isomeric exo- and endospiro products 39 and 40 were formed.     

Directed regiospecificity of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of 2-diazopropane to 4- and 5-substituted pyridazin-3(2H)-ones

Sodium m-nitrobenzene sulfonate, widely used in dehydrogenation of 4,5-dihydro-3(2H)-pyridazinones to their corresponding aromatic derivatives, behaves in an unexpected way when 4,4a-dihydro-5H[1]benzopyrano[4,3-c]pyridazin-3(2H)-ones are employed as substrate.

Ring Transformation of 7-Nitro-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazo- and -[1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-c]pyridin-4-ones

Nitration of 1-phenyl-4,5-dihydroimidazo- and -1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-c]pyridin-4-ones initially occurs at the para position of the phenyl ring, and the subsequent nitration yields the corresponding 7-nitro-1-(4-nitrophenyl) derivatives. Treatment of the latter with hydrazine hydrate leads to formation of 1-(4-aminophenyl)-7-methyl-4,5-dihydroimidazo- and -1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-d]pyridazin-4-ones.     

Synthesis of (2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) substituted pyridazin-3(2H)-ones and 1,5-dihydropyrrol-2-ones from α,β-unsaturated γ-lactones and hydrazines

This paper presents the transformation of α,β-unsaturated γ-lactones into 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl substituted pyridazin-3(2H)-ones and 1,5-dihydropyrrol-2-ones starting from various hydrazines. The influence of the γ-lactone substitution (sulfanyl versus sulfonyl moiety) and the nature of the hydrazines (unsubstituted, alkyl- or aryl-substituted) on the outcome of the reaction were studied. All new heterocycles were characterized using 1D NMR, IR, MS and their data was compared with those of two reported X-ray diffraction structures. The two possible competitive pathways leading to pyridazin-3(2H)-ones and/or 1,5-dihydropyrrol-2-ones are discussed. Abinitio DFT calculations were also performed in order to rationalize several experimental results.

Synthesis and characterization of a series of new 2-unsubstituted 3-(2-benzylbenzoyl)quinolin-4(1H)-ones is described. In addition to their potential biological activity, these compounds exhibit photoreversible photochromic properties in anaerobic conditions. Using the 1 and 2D NMR techniques we demonstrated that the coloration occurred owing to the formation of fluorescent 5a,6-dihydrobenzo[b]acridin-(5H)-ones. The photoreaction is stereoselective and the S,R-isomers are the major products (83%) whereas the S,S-isomers are the minor (6%). In addition, the irreversible formation of two oxidation products, 3-(2-benzoylbenzoyl)quinolin-4(1H)-ones, and acridin-12(5H)-one derivatives was observed in the presence of air.

 Novel N-(3-oxobutyl)-hydroxy- and acetoxypyrido[2,3-d]pyridazinones were synthesized and tested in vivo for their sedative and anticonvulsant activity. The Michael-type reaction of quinolinic acid hydrazide and methyl vinyl ketone afforded a mixture of two isomers, 5-hydroxy-N ⁷-(3-oxobutyl)-pyrido[2,3-d]pyridazin-8(7H)-one and 8-hydroxy-N ⁶-(3-oxobutyl)-pyrido[2,3,-d]pyridazin-5-(6H)-one, in a ratio of 2:1 which were separated by crystallization. Subsequent acetylation of both isomers yielded the corresponding 5- and 8-acetoxy compounds. The structures of the compounds were proven and completely assigned on the basis of ¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁵N NMR, and 1D NOE difference spectra as well as 2D C,H-correlation experiments. Preliminary pharmacological tests showed low acute toxicity with a LD ₅₀ > 1000 mg/kg in the mouse and sedative activity for the title compounds. 5-Acetoxy-N ⁷- (3-oxobutyl)-pyrido[2,3-d]pyridazin-8(7H)-one displayed a borderline anticonvulsant activity in the metrazole test model.

Synthesis of 2-Aryl-4-(R-sulfanylmethyl)-3-methyl-6,7-dihydro-2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrazolo[3,4-<Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis>]pyridazin-7-ones

Bromination of ethyl 1-aryl-4-acetyl-5-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylates gave ethyl 1-aryl-4-(bromoacetyl)-5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-carboxylates which were used to alkylate benzenethiol and heterocyclic thiones at the sulfur atom. Reactions of the resulting S-alkylation products with hydrazine or methylhydrazine involved closure of pyridazine ring to afford 2-aryl-3-methyl-4-[phenyl(or hetaryl)sulfanylmethyl]-6,7-dihydro-2H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyridazin-7-ones.
