The nitration of 3-methylaceperidazine (3-methyl-6,7-dihydro-1H-indeno[6,7,1-def]cinnoline) and its N-substituted derivatives with nitric acid of different concentrations requires harsh conditions and is accompanied by dehydrogenation and dimerization of the initial compound.

Reactions of 2-aminothiazole, derivatives of 2-aminobenzothiazole and 2-aminobenzoimidazole with polyfluorobenzoyl chlorides gave rise to acylation products that at heating in the diphenyl ether formed fluoro-containing derivatives of thiazolo[3,2-a]-, benzothiazolo[3,2-a]-, and benzimidazo[3,2-a]quinazolinone.     

Reactions of 3-Aroylpyrrolo[1,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]quinoxaline-1,2,4(5<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-triones with 2,3-Dihydrofuran and 3,4-Dihydro-2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyran

3-Aroylpyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxaline-1,2,4(5H)-triones reacted with 2,3-dihydrofuran and 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran to give mixtures of the corresponding hetero-Diels–Alder (furo- and pyrano[3″,2″: 5′,6′]pyrano- [4′,3′: 2,3]pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxalines) and Michael adducts (furyl- and pyranylpyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxalines).     

Alkylation of 2-(hydroxyimino)-5<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]-pyrimidin-3(2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones

Synthesis and properties of cyanomethyl derivatives of imidazo[1,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]pyridine,imidazo[1,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]pyrimidine,and imidazo[2,1-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]thiazole

2-Cyanomethyl derivatives were obtained of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine, imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine, and imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole, and their reactivity was investigated by an example of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine: It was subjected to nitration, bromination, azo coupling and nitrosation. Acylation of the methylene group effected by amino acids esters with a subsequent addition of the amino group to the cyano group resulted in the formation of 5-amino-4-imidazo[1,2-a]-pyridin-2-yl-1-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrrol-3-one and 2-amino-1-ethyl-3-imidazol[1,2-a]pyridin-2-yl-4(1H)-quinolinone.     

Synthesis of azepino[1,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]benzimidazoles and imidazo[1,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]azepines

Fusion of 4-bromo-1,3-diphenyl-2-buten-1-ones (γ-bromodypnones) with 1,2-dimethyl-1H-benzimidazole and further treatment of the reaction product with a base (morpholine) gives 7,9-diaryl-5-methyl5,10-dihydroazepino[1,2-a]benzimidazol-11-ium bromides. The reaction of γ-bromodypnone with 1-alkyl-2-methyl-1H-imidazoles in benzene at 25 °C gives quaternary azolium salts. Upon heating their solutions in alcohol in the presence of K₂CO₃ the latter cyclize to 1-R-6,8-diaryl-1,5-dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]azepin-4-ium bromides or 1-R-6,8-diaryl-1H-imidazo[1,2-a]azepines depending on the nature of the substituent in the benzene rings and the substituent at the N(1) atom of the imidazole.     

Reactions of ethyl 6,6-dialkyl-8,9-dioxo-5,6,8,9-tetrahydrobenzo[<Emphasis Type="Italic">f</Emphasis>]pyrrolo[2,1-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]isoquinoline-10-carboxylates with <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-nucleophiles

Reaction of enaminoesters, derivatives of 2,2-dialkyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[f]isoquinoline, with oxalyl chloride leads to the formation of ethyl 6,6-dialkyl-8,9-dioxo-5,6,8,9-tetrahydrobenzo[f]pyrrolo[2,1-a]-isoquinoline-10-carboxylates. At reaction of the latter with ammonia and cyclic amines opening of pyrroledione cycle occurs and the formation of enaminoketoamides, and the reaction with o-phenylenediamine furnishes a fragment of benzimidazole. Hydroxylamine behaves as binucleophile and attacks not only lactam, but also the ester group, affording heterocyclic system of isoxazine-3,4,6-trione.

3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-Benzo[<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]imidazo[4,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">j</Emphasis>]acridine as a new fluorescent heterocyclic system: synthesis,spectral studies,and quantum chemical investigation

The synthesis, spectral studies, and theoretical calculations of a new fluorescent heterocyclic system are described. New 3H-benzo[a]imidazo[4,5-j]acridines were obtained in high yields by the reaction of 1-alkyl-5-nitro-1H-benzimidazoles with (naphthalen-1-yl)acetonitrile via nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen, and their structures were established by spectral (UV-Vis, FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR) and analytical data. Study of the optical and solvatochromic properties of the dyes revealed their high molar absorption coefficients and high fluorescence quantum yields which in some cases exceeded quantum yields of well-known fluorescent dyes such as fluorescein. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations using the B3LYP hybrid functional and 6-311++G(d,p) basis set were performed to obtain optimized geometries and frontier orbital structures of the synthesized compounds. The electronic absorption spectra were also simulated by the time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) method.

Either 7- or 8-aryl derivatives of benzo[cd]furo[2,3-f]indol-4(5H)-ones can be prepared depending on the reaction conditions.
