Syntheses of various benzo-and naphtho-1,2,4-triazin-6(4H)-ones are formed in one step via the reactions of amidrazones with benzo-and naphtho-1,4-quinones. In contrast, the reactions of amidrazones with 2,3,5,6-tetrachloro-1,4-benzoquinone or 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone produced the same indazoles, no matter what substituents were present on the nitrogen of the amidrazone.
