Abstract

Twelve aryl diazonium salts have been coupled with triacetic lactone to yield aryl hydrazones. Under the same conditions 3-bromotriacetic lactone and methylene bis- (triacetic lactone) were found to undergo coupling and elimination reactions to yield the same products as the unsubstituted triacetic lactone. The hydrazones readily rearrange upon treatment with either aqueous base or acid to l-aryl-3-carboxy-6-methyl-4- ...
