Azo coupling of 5-substituted furan-2(3H)-ones and 1H-pyrrol-2(3H)-ones with arene(hetarene)diazonium salts

Abstract
5-Substituted furan-2(3H)-ones and 1-phenyl-1H-pyrrol-2(3H)-ones reacted with diazonium salts derived from substituted anilines and 1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-amine to give azo coupling products at the methylene group in the heteroring. The products were found to exist as hydrazone tautomers.
