Synthesis of Methyl 2-[(Benzyloxycarbonyl)amino]-3-cyanopropenoate and Its Transformations into Derivatives of Pyrrole, 2,5-Dioxoimidazolidine, 1H-Pyrazole, and 4,6-Diaminopyridazine

Methyl (E)-2-[(benzyloxycarbonyl)amino]-3-cyanopropenoate (4) was, as a versatile multifunctional reagent, transformed with hydrazine and monosubstituted aromatic and heteroaromatic hydrazines under various conditions into derivatives of pyridazine (6), pyrrole (7), imidazole-2,4-dione (9), and pyrazole (13).
