ABSTRACT:
N-Aryl-C-ethoxycarbonylnitrile imines (3a-g) react with ethyl cyanoacetate 1 in 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to yield novel pyrazole-3,4-dicarboxylates (4a-g) in moderate yields. The reaction of pyrazole-3,4-dicarboxylates (4a, d) with hydrazine afforded pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyridazine-4,7-diones (5a, d) in good yields. All compounds were fully characterized by spectroscopic methods. Some of the newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against murine P815 mastocytoma cell line.
