“…Moreover, the reaction of compound 1 with CS 2 and the same halo compounds but in 1:1:2 molar ratio under the same PTC conditions afforded The reaction of compound 1 with CS 2 and alcoholic KOH in 2:1:1 molar ratio gave 5-hydroxy-4-mercapto-2,6-diphenyl-2,3,6,8-tetrahydrodipyrazolo-SCHEME 1 [3,4-b:4,3-e]pyridin-3-one (12), which was treated with ethyl chloroacetate under the proceeding PTC conditions to give ethoxy(8-hydroxy-3,7-diphenyl-5,7-dihydro-3H-1-thia-3,4,5,6,7-pentaazacyclopenta[cd]-s-indacen-2-yl)-1-methanone (14). On the other hand, 6-phenyl-2,4-dithioxo-2,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrazolo [1,5 -c] [ 1,3,5 ]-thiadiazin-7-one (13) was obtained by treating compound 1 with CS 2 and alcoholic KOH in 1:2:2 molar ratio, which was reacted with hydrazine hydrate [16,17] in refluxing ethanol, where H 2 S gas was evolved to afford 3-amino-6-phenyl-2,4-dithioxo-2,3,4,6,7,8-hexahydropyrazolo [1,5-a] [1,3,5]triazin-7-one (15) (Scheme 2). The structure of these compounds were confirmed using IR, 1 H-NMR, MS, and elemental analysis ( Table 1).…”
