Reactions of 2-methoxytropone and 2-halotropone with hydrazides were carried out. Hydrazide reacted with 2-methoxytropone to yield 2-(2-acylhydrazino) tropones. With hydrazides having an active methylene group, 2-halotropones gave 1-aminocyclohepta-[b]pyrrol-2(1H)-one derivatives and with other hydrazides, 2-(2-acylhydrazino)tropones were obtained.
