A series of 1,2, 4, 5-tetraaza-3-pentenes 4a-j were synthesized by the reaction of appropriate nitrilimines 2 with substituted hydrazines (H2NNHCOR, R=Ph, OMe) 3. Heating the compounds 4a-j with activated charcoal in refluxing benzene oxidized to formazans 5a-j and some formazans 5fj (R = OMe) gave s-tetrazinones 6fj in presence of lithium hydride. The microanalysis and spectral data of the synthesized compounds are in fall agreement with their molecular structure.
