Abstract
Reactions of 1,3-diphenylpropen-2-one and α-nitrostyrenes with azomethine imines, generated from 6-aryl-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes on catalysis with Et2O•BF3 in ionic liquids, were found to proceed with high regio- and stereoselectivity to afford the products of the diaziridine ring expansion, viz., [3-aryl-2-phenyltetrahydro-1H,5H-pyrazolo[1,2-a]pyrazol- 1-yl](phenyl)methanones, 1,3-diaryl-2-nitrotetrahydro-1H,5H-pyrazolo[1,2-a]pyrazoles and 5-aryl-6-(3-nitrophenyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[1,2-a]pyrazolium tetrafluoroborates (hexafluorophosphates). The reactions discovered are new, more simple methods for the syn- thesis of bicyclic structures.
