Abstract: | On treatment with diphenyldichloromethane or anisal chloride in the presence of acetone and aqueous sodium hydroxide, pyridine undergoes condensation and ring cleavage to yield the enamine Schiff bases 1,1-diphenyl-2-azadeca-1,3Z,5Z,7E-tetraen-9-one (1) and 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-azadeca-1E,3Z,5Z,7E-tetraen-9-one (7). The reaction proceeds through attack of acetonyl carbanion on the initially formed bis-pyridinium salt, followed by ring scission with elimination of one equivalent of pyridine. The structure and stereochemistry of the 2-azatetraene (1) was confirmed by X-ray crystallography. |
