Reissert compound studies. XXXVI. Observations on 1,7-, 4,6-, 4,7-, and 1,10-phenanthrolines

Reissert compounds have been prepared from 1,7-, 4,6-, and 4,7-phenanthrolines. In the case of 4,7-phenanthroline, both mono- and di-Reissert compounds have been prepared. A number of Reissert analogs have also been prepared in this series. 1,10-Phenanthroline fails to give a Reissert compound.     

Heterogeneous-catalytic fischer reaction. 13. Catalytic synthesis of 4-, 5-, 6-, and 7-methoxyindoles

Methoxy-substituted acetaldehyde phenylhydrazones were cyclized in the vapor phase on a GIPKh-115 catalyst to give 4-, 5-, 6-, and 7-methoxyindoles. 5-Methoxyindole was obtained in 50% yield, 4- and 6-methoxyindoles were obtained in 85% yield, and 7-methoxyindole was obtained in 45% yield.See [1] for Communication 12.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1054–1055, August, 1982.

The readily obtained N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)-propargylic amines are shown to be useful precursors of various functional protected primary amines. It readily gives rise to N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)dienamines, 2-aza-1,3,5-hexatrienes, α-allenic amines, substituted allylamines and lactams.
