Abstract

Ester p-tosylhydraxones are obtained in good yields from reactions of ortho esters and p- tosylhydrazine. The reactions of three of these ester p-tosylhydrazones, derived from methyl orthoformate, ethyl orthoacetate, and methyl orthobenzoate, with sodium hydride and the thermal decompositions of the product sodium salts are discussed. The products of these thermolyses are rationalized as being formed by two major reaction paths in the initial ...
