■ Triazolines X. Organic Synthesis via 1,2,3-Triazoline Intermediates. A Unique Synthesis of 4-Anilinopyridazine

Abstract
The paper illustrates the utility of the 1,2,3-triazoline heterocycle in organic synthesis. The 4,5-acyl-substituted triazoline (2) decomposes in situ to yield the enaminodiketone (3) and the diacylaziridine (5). With hydrazine, (3) undergoes ring closure to yield the hitherto unknown 4-anilinopyridazine (4); (5), however, yields the pyrazole (7). A mechanism is suggested for the formation of (7).

Abstract
Various benzopyranoindoles and benzopyranoquinolines derived from chroman-3-one have been synthesized with the aim of including them in structure activity studies of the carcinogenic potency in the carbazole and acridine series. From a physicochemical point of view, the structure of the isolated compounds is discussed in regard to some of their NMR properties.

■ Syntehsis and Conformational Analysis of Tetrahydro-1,2,5-oxadiazines
Alan A. Katritzky* and Ranjan Patel
*School of Chemical Sciences, University of East Anglia, Norwich, Northfolk NR4 7TJ, U.K.
Abstract
Tetrahydro-1,2,5-oxadiazines are prepared for the first time. They show two coalescence processes in the n. m. r. spectra, corresponding to (a) ring reversal or 2-NMe inversion and (b) 5-NMe inversion.

■ The Synthesis and Comformational Analysis of Tetrahydro-1,2,4- and 1,2,5-oxadiazines
Frank G. Riddell* and Eric S. Turner
*School of Chemistry, The University, Hull HU6 7RX, U.K.
Abstract
Derivatives of tetrahydro-1,2,4-oxadiazine and tetrahydro-1,2,5-oxadiazine have been prepared. Both systems show coalescences in their nmr spectra corresponding to either ring inversion or 2-N-methyl inversion.

■ Coupling Reaction of Monosubstituted Acetylenes with Iodopyrimidines

*Pharmaceutical Institute, Tohoku University, Aobayama, Sendai 980-8578, Japan
Abstract
The pyrimidine derivatives containing an acetylenic side chain at the 2- or 4-position were synthesized by means of the reaction of alkyl(or phenyl)acetylenes with 2-iodo- or 4-iodopyrimidines in the presence of a palladium triphenylphosphine complex in yields ranging from 70 to 95 %. The reaction readily proceeded in both 2,4-diiodo- and 4,6-diiodopyrimidines to give the corresponding dialkynyl derivatives.

■ Reaction of 4-Azido-5-(1-cyanoethylidine)-1,3-dimethyl-2-pyrrolinone with Amines. A Convenient Synthesis of 3-Aminomethyl-4-amino-5-(1-cyanoethylidine)-1-methyl-2-pyrrolinones
Annlie Sing and Harold W. Moore*
*Department of Chemistry, University of California, One Shields Avenue, Davis, CA 95616-5295, U.S.A.
Abstract
The reaction of 4-azido-5-(1-cyanoethy1idine)-1,3-dimethyl-2-pyrrolinone with amines (piperidine, morpholine, pyrrolidine, and aniline) is described. This reaction results in the incorporation of an aminomethyl group at position -3 with concomitant reduction of the azide group to a primary amine, i. e., the formation of 3-aminomethyl-4-amino-5-(1-cyanoethylidine)-2-pyrrolinones, 6a-d.

*Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Osaka University, 1-6 Yamadaoka, Toyonaka, Osaka 560-0043, Japan
Abstract
The previously proposed azahexatrienes are shown not to be intermediates of the photochemical transformation of ethyl 2-cyano-1,2-dihydroquinoline-1-carboxylates to cycloprop[b]indoles, allenic compounds and/or ethanol adducts.
