Abstract
A novel synthesis of polysubstituted pyrazoles 3a-d, pyrimidines 4a-f and quinolines 5a-c via the reaction of alpha,alpha-oxoketene dithioacetals 2a-c with hydrazine hydrate, malonohydrazide, urea, thiourea and aniline is reported and the synthetic potential of the method is demonstrated. The structure of the new compounds was established upon their elemental analysis, IR, H-1 NMR and C-13 NMR. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
