2-(3-Hydroxy-5,5-dimethylcyclohexylidene)malononitrile 5 undergoes an azo coupling reaction with aryldiazonium salts to afford 3-amino-2-aryl-6,6-dimethyl-8-oxo-2,6,7,8-tetrahydrocinnoline-4-carbonitriles 7. Upon reflux in acetic acid, these compounds were acetylated to give the cinnoline derivatives 9. The pyrazolones 10a, b react with 3-furfurylidene- and 3-thienylidene-malononitrile derivatives 11a, b to afford the pyrano2,3-cpyrazole derivatives 13a-d. These newly synthesized compounds show generally a moderate molluscicidal activity to Biomphalaria alexandrina snails.
