Aromatic amino-claisen rearrangement in the synthesis of ellipticine

A convenient route is described for the preparation of 1,4-dimethylcarbazole — the key compound in the synthesis of the antitumoral alkaloid ellipticine. The interaction of 2,5-xylidine with 3-chlorocyclohexene led to N-(cyclohex-2-enyl)-2,5-xylidine (I), the two-hour heating of which at 140–150°C gave the product of an amino-Claisen rearrangement, 6-(cyclohex-2-enyl)-2,5-xylidine (II) with a yield of 82%. The intramolecular cyclization of compound (II) in polyphosphoric acid (130–140°C, 5 h) led to 5,6,7,8,12,13-hexahydro-1,4-dimethylcarbazole (III) in a yield of 75%.

2,4-Diaryl-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b][1,4]thiazepines

2,4-Diaryl-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b][1,4]thiazepines are obtained in a single stage from chalcones and ortho-aminothiophenol in the presence of triethylamine. The nature of the electronic transitions in their UV absorption spectra is discussed with the use of quantum-chemical methods. It was shown that the seven-membered ring does not invert in the range of temperatures between –80 and +140 °C and is in the boat form. The main initial event in the fragmentation of the molecules of the obtained compounds under electron impact is the formation of benzothiazole-containing radicalions. In an acidic medium 2,4-diphenyl-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b][1,4]thiazepine is hydrolyzed to 3-(2-aminophenylthio)-1,3-diphenyl-1-propanone, and in its reaction with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine chalcone hydrazone and o-aminothiophenol are formed.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1638–1642, December, 1983.
