2,3‐Diaryl‐substituted maleic anhydrides were prepared by a modified one‐pot synthesis of Perkin condensation using mixed sodium salts of arylglyoxylic acid and arylacetic acid with acetic anhydride in 1,4‐dioxane. The treatment of these anhydrides with ammonium bicarbonate, or methanolic hydrazine, offered the corresponding 2,3‐diaryl‐substituted maleimides and maleic hydrazides (4,5‐diaryl‐substituted 1,2‐dihydropyridazine‐3,6‐dione), respectively. Evidence obtained from NMR, UV, and mass spectra suggest that 2,3‐diaryl‐substituted maleic hydrazides do not exhibit monolactim forms. Ring contraction of the diaryl‐substituted maleic hydrazide by nitrosation led to the formation of the corresponding maleimide. Interconversion between the corresponding maleic hydrazide and maleimide was observed following equilibrium reaction. Our experiment proposes that the chemistry of 2,3‐diaryl‐substituted maleic hydrazides rarely involves the function of ethylene moiety and resembles that of succinic hydrazine. J.
