Reactivity of 4-tert-Butyldimethylsiloxy-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridines with Hydrazines

The reactivity of 6-(nitrophenyl or trimethoxyphenyl)-4-tert-butyldimethyl- siloxy-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine derivatives with hydrazines under acid conditions is described. The structure of the products isolated − hydrazones, pyrazolines or pyridazinones − depended on the conditions used. In addition, a systematic study of the reaction outcomes was carried out by introducing variations on the substituents of the tetrahydropyridine ring
