An unusual reaction of 2-(2-pyridylcarbonyl)- and 2-(2-quinolylcarbonyl)benzoyl chlorides with p-nitroaniline

In the reaction of 2-(2-pyridylcarbonyl)benzoyl chloride, which exists in the form of 6,11-dioxo-6,11dihydrobenzo[b]quinolizinium chloride, with p-nitroaniline, 2-(4-nitrophenylimino)-6, 11-dihydro-2H-benzo-[b]quinolizine-6, I I -dione is unexpectedly formed. When it reacts with water or methanol there is an opening of the quinolizine ring and aromatization of the quinoid fragment with the formation of 2-[4-(4nitrophenylamino)-2-pyridylcarbonyl]benzoic acid or its methyl ester. Under the action of antimony pentachloride, 2- 2-quinolylcarbonyl)benzoylchloride-3 (2-quinolyl)-3-chloro- 1, 3-dihydrobenzo[c]furan-1 -one -is converted to 3-(2-quinolyl)-1,3-dihydrobenzo[c]furan-1-on-3-ylium hexachlorantimonate, which undergoes isomerizing recyclization upon heating to 7,12-dioxo-7,12-dihydrobenzo[b/ hexachloroantimonate. The latter enters into an analogous reaction with p-nitroaniline, thereby forming 5-(4-nitrophenylimino)-7,12-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[b,f]quinolizine-7,2-dione.Riga Technical University, Riga LV-1048.

3-acyl-1,5-benzodiazepines in the reactions of 5,5-dimethyl-2-formylcyclohexane-1,3-dione with certain 1,2-diaminobenzenes

Reaction of 5,5-dimethyl-2-formylcyclohexane-1,3-dione with 4-methyl-, 4-benzoyl-, and 4-nitro-1,2-diaminobenzenes gave the corresponding 2-(2-amino-4-methylphenylaminomethylene)-, 2-(2-amino-5-benzoylphenylaminomethylene)-, and 2-(2-amino-5-nitrophenylaminomethylene)-5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-diones. When treated with hydrochloric acid, they cyclize to 7-methyl-, 8-benzoyl-, and 8-nitro-3,3-dimethyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-dibenzo[b,e][1,4]diazepinon hydrochlorides. Under hydrolytic conditions the salts of 3,3,7-trimethyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-dibenzo[b,e][1,4]diazepinone and 3,3-dimethyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-dibenzo[b,e][1,4]diazepinone undergo the C₁₁−N₁₀ bond cleavage to give N-(2-aminophenyl)- and N-(2-amino-5-methylphenyl)-substituted 3-amino-2-formyl-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-enones. Ring opening of the hydrochlorides of 8-benzoyl-, and 3,3-dimethyl-8-nitro-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-dibenzo[b,e][1,4]diazepinones occurs at the C−N₅ bond and gives the starting enamines.

Synthesis and ring-chain isomerism of acid chlorides and amides of 2-(2-pyridyl and 2-quinolylcarbonyl) benzoic acids

The reaction of 2-(2 pyridytcarbonyl)benzoic acid with thionyl chloride affords an unexpected product of the intramolecular acylation of the pyridine nitrogen atom, namely, 6,11-dioxo-6,11-dihydrobenzo[blquinotizinium chloride. At the same time, 2-(2-quinotylcarbonyl)benzoic acid forms the expected cyclic acid chloride, namely, 3-(2-gitinotyl)-3-chlorophthalide in this reaction. Both compounds acylate ammonia and primary amines, including those with bulky alkyl groups (tert-butyl, 1-adamantyl, and 1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl) with the formation of 2-R-3-hydroxy-3-(2pyridyl- or 2-quinolyl)isoindolines. The protonation of the pyridine nitrogen atom of N-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)-2-(2pyridylcarbonyl)benzamide, obtained in the open amide form, is accompanied by the closing of the isoindotinone ring; the deprotonation is accompanied by ring opening.Riga Technical University, Riga LV-1048.

Oxidation of the latter by selenous acid leads to the corresponding 4,5-dioxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazoles, which then were converted to derivatives of 4,5-dihydro-3H-pyrazolo[4,3-a]phenazine and 4,5-dihydro-1H(3H)-indazolo[4,5-d]imidazole.Riga Technical University, Riga LV-1658.
