The electrochemical two electron reduction of pyridazines, substituted by electron withdrawing groups, primarily lead to their corresponding 1,2-dihydro-derivatives. Depending on the nature of the ring substitution, these intermediates can either rearrange into 1,4-dihydro-pyridazines, or undergo electrochemical reduction to give rise to activated pyrroles by a ring contraction reaction with extrusion of nitrogen. Another way of access to the latter has been achieved by a disproportionation reaction of 1,2-dihydro-opyridazines, leading directly to the expected pyrroles and recovery of 50% of pyridazines.
