Condensed Isoquinolines. 17. Enamine Properties of Benzimidazo[1,2-b]isoquinolin-11(5H)-one in Alkylation Reactions

The alkylation of benzimidazo[1,2-b]isoquinolin-11(5H)-one has been studied. This occurs at N₍₅₎ or C₍₆₎ depending on the type of alkylating agent and the reaction conditions. It was shown that C₍₆₎ alkylation is effected in reactions with reactive alkyl halides. A repeat alkylation occurs preferentially at the same position. Interaction with o-xylylidene dibromide leads to spiro[benzimidazo[1,2-b]-isoquinolin-6,2'-indan]-11-one and 1,6-dihydro-11H-6a,11b-diazobenzo[b]benzo[5,6]cyclohepta[1,2,3-l,m]fluoren-11-one, which are derivatives of new heterocyclic systems.

We have established that when 5-chloro-6-[cyano(2,3-dihydro-1-R-benzo[d]azol-2-yl)methyl]-2,3-pyrazinedicarbonitriles are reacted with nucleophilic reagents (aliphatic and aromatic amines, hydrogen sulfide), annelation of the five-membered ring occurs on the [b] face of the pyrazine with formation of 6-amino-7-hetaryl-5-R-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-2,3-dicarbonitriles and 6-amino-7-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)thieno[2,3-b]pyrazine-2,3-dicarbonitrile respectively. Further heating with excess of acylating reagent leads to formation of a novel heterocyclic system 1H-benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-c]pyrazino[2',3':4,5]pyrrolo[3,2-e]pyrimidine. Reaction of vicinal dinitriles with hydrazine hydrate leads to the novel system 1H-pyrrolo[2',3':5,6]pyrazino[2,3-d]pyridazine.     

Condensed Isoquinolines. 16. Enamine Properties of Benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-b]isoquinolin-11(5H)-one in Terms of Its Acylation Reactions

A study has shown that the acylation of benzo[4,5]imidazol[1,2-b]isoquinolin-11(5H)-one occurs at N₍₅₎ or at C₍₆₎ depending on the nature of the acylating reagent and the reaction conditions. It was found that principally C-acylation takes place in the absence of base. The reaction with -halo-substituted carboxylic acid chlorides leads to the formation of C-acylated products which are converted to derivatives of the novel heterocyclic system 7H-2a,6b-diazabenzo[b]cyclopenta[l,m]fluorene-1,7(2H)-dione in the presence of base.
