| Abstract: | Reactions of Cyclobutendiones. LII. Reaction of 4-Hydroxy-3-phenyl-3-cyclobuten-1-ones with Arylhydrazines In the reaction of hydroxycyclobutenones of the typ 1 – 4 with arylhydrazines 5 an unexpected reaction behaviour is found. The major products are hydrazones of different structure, the well known hydroxy-cyclopropane-carboxylicacid hydrazines 6 [1] are byproducts. The direction of the reaction depends on the substituents X, on the different substituted arylhydrazines and the solvents. |
