Abstract

4-Arylazo-1H-pyrazol-3, 5-idimines 1a-c reacted with bromomalononitrile (2) to yield the corresponding imidazo[1, 2-b]pyrazoles 3a-c. The latter reacted with some active methylene compounds and with .alpha.-cinnamonitriles to afford the corresponding pyrazoloimidazopyridines 6, 8, 9 and 15, respectively. Compounds 3 reacted with each of formic acid, formamide, trichlo-roacetonitrile and with guanidine to yield the corresponding pyrazoloimidazopyrimidines 16-19 respectively.
