Abstract
2‐ and 4‐Cyanomethylpyridine, 1‐methyl‐ and 1‐benzyl‐2‐cyanomethylimidazole and 3‐cyanomethyl‐1,2,4‐triazole lose the cyano group on reaction with aqueous hydrazine at about 200°, yielding α‐ and γ‐picoline, 1,2‐dimethyl‐ and 1‐benzyl‐2‐methylimidazole and 3‐methyl‐1,2,4‐triazole, respectively. A mechanism is discussed.Keywords
