Conclusions
-
1.
The reaction of the esters of phenylazoacetonedicarboxylic acid with hydroxylamine gave three products in ratios that depended on the structure of the radical of the ester group: the esters of the phenyl-hydrazone of 2-isoxazolin-5-on-3-ylglyoxylic acid (IIa), the esters of 4-phenylazo-3-isoxazolin-5-on-3-ylacetic acid (III), and 2-phenyl-4-carbalkoxymethyl-5-carbalkoxytriazoles (IV).
-
2.
The phenylhydrazones (II) and phenylazo compounds (III), which contain an isoxazoline ring, are resistant to chemical reduction in neutral medium; aniline is not cleaved and the isoxazoline ring is not opened during catalytic hydrogenation.
-
3.
The phenylazoacetonedicarboxylic acid esters have an azoenol structure.
