Treatment of 2,4-diphenylbutadiene-1,4-sultone with hydrazine in boiling EtOH gives 1-amino-2,4-diphenyl-1H-pyrrole. On treatment of 2,4-diphenylbutadiene-1,4-sultone with phenyl hydrazine in glacial acetic acid, 4,5-dihydro-5-methyl-1,3,5-triphenyl-1H-pyrazole was isolated. On the other hand, 2,4-diphenylbutadiene-1,4-sultone reacts with 4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-amine and 5-amino-3-phenyl-1H-pyrazole to afford the novel heterocyclic compounds 2-(2,2-dioxo-4-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-8H-
