Abstract

Cyano-substituted pyrazoles transpose photo-chemically into imidazoles by two concurrent paths:(a) 1, 5-interchange, probably by 2, 5-bonding to a diazabicyclopentene which isomerises by nitrogen 'walk'before rearomatisation, and (b) 2, 3-interchange, probably via an intermediate azirine; in sharp contrast, 1, 5-dimethyl-3-trifluoromethylpyrazole phototransposes exclusively by the former path.
