“…As an example, N-tosylamidrazones 160 can react either with acid chlorides or with ethyl chloroformate to give tosylated 1,2,4-triazoles 161 or 1,2,4-triazole-3-ones 162, respectively (Scheme 12.52) [212]. Other amidrazone reactions can occur with carboxylic acids [213], cyanogen bromide [214], aldehydes [215], and orthoesters [215,216]. Amidrazones 163 have been oxidized to 1,3,5-trisubstituted 1,2,4-triazoles 164 in good yields by silver carbonate, Dess-Martin periodinane, sodium and calcium hypochlorites, and tetrapropylammonium perruthenate (TPAP)/N-methylmorpholine N-oxide (NMO) combination (Scheme 12.53) [217][218][219].…”
