Synthesis of new 4-(1-ethylthio-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-6-methylpyridazin-3(2H)-ones starting from S-ethyl 4-oxo-2-(pentafluoroethyl)pentanethiolate and hydrazines

The paper presents a one-pot conversion of γ-keto-α-pentafluoroethyl thioester into new pyridazin-3-ones and α,β-unsaturated lactams. The structures of all new compounds were ascribed using 1D (19F, 1H, 13C) and 2D (1H–15N) NMR data, and X-ray diffraction analysis. Two possible competitive reaction mechanisms for the synthesis of pyridazin-3-ones and lactams are presented.
