Possible psychopharmacological agents. Part 9: Synthesis and CNS activity of some new fluorine-containing 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazines.

A number of new fluorine-containing 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazines have been synthesized by the condensation of 4-amino-(4H)-1,2,4-triazole with appropriate fluorinated beta-diketones in glacial acetic acid. All synthesized compounds were characterized by their m.p.'s, nitrogen analysis, IR, 1H NMR and 19F NMR. A representative number of compounds was screened for their CNS activity and found to be mild stimulants.
