2-Hydrazinobenzoxazole (1),-benzimidazole (2), and benzothiazole (3) were condensed with ethyl chloroformate and/or diethyl oxalate to produce, 1, 2, 4-triazolo-and 1, 2, 4-triazino- fused ketones of the title azoles respectively. Condensation of 1 and 2 with aromatic aldehydes and/or acetic anhydride produced, 3-aryl-and 3-methyl-substituted 1, 2, 4-triazolo- fused azoles respectively. The hydrazines 1 and 2 cyclized with acetylacetone to produce ...
