The reactions of the pyrazole-5-diazonium salt 3 with malononitrile and ethyl cyanoacetate gave 4-amino-3-cyano-8-ethoxycarbonylpyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine 7 and 4-amino-3,8-bisethoxycarbonylpyrazolo[5,1-c]-[1,2,4]triazine 8 , whose reactions with p-chloroaniline hydrochloride afforded 4-amino-8-ethoxycarbonyl-3-(p-chlorophenyl)amidinopyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine 9 and 4-amino-8-ethoxycarbonyl-3-(p-chlorophenyl)car-bamoylpyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine 10 , respectively.

The synthesis of the novel 7-substituted 1H-indolo[3,2-d][1,2]benzoxazepine ring system is described. Fischer indolization of 2-fluoroacetophenone phenylhydrazone provided the starting material 2-(2-fluorophenyl)-1H-indole. An acyl group was then introduced at the 3-position of the indole nucleus and the resulting ketone was converted to the ketoxime. Upon treatment with sodium hydride to form the oxanion of the ketoxime, an intramolecular cyclization took place via displacement of fluoride from the adjacent 2-fluorophenylsubstituent. This ring closure completed the construction of the 1H-indolo[3,2-d][1,2]benzoxazepine ring system.

Research on nitrogen heterocyclic compounds. XII. Synthesis of 5H-pyrrolo[1,2-b][2]benzazepine derivatives

Several routes to the synthesis of the unknown 5H-pyrrolo[1,2-b][2]benzazepine ring system have been explored. 1-(2-Cyanobenzyl)pyrrole was useful as starting material to obtain 1-(2-earboxymelhylbenzyl)pyrrole and 1-(2-chloromethylbenzyl)-2-pyrrolecarboxaldehyde. Poly-phosphoric acid catalyzed intramolecular cyclization of the former substance and treatment of the latter compound with potassium cyanide led to 11-oxo-10,11-dihydro-5H-pyrrolo[1,2-b]-[2]benzazepine and to 10-cyano-5H-pyrrolo[1,2-b][2]benzazepine, respectively. Starting from these materials the synthesis of the parent nucleus 5H-pyrrole[1,2-b][2]benzazepine and its 10,11-dihydro- and 1,2,3,10,11,11a-hexahydroderivatives has been realized.
