Thermische und photochemisch induzierte intramolekulare, 1,3-dipolare Cycloadditionen von 4-Phenyl-3-(2-allylphenyl)-sydnon. Vorläufige Mitteilung. 53. Mitteilung über Photoreaktionen

Thermal and photochemically induced intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of 4-phenyl-3-(2-allylphenyl)-sydnone The title compound 9 was synthesised in the usual way, starting from 2-allylaniline and ethyl 2-bromo-2-phenylacetate, via the nitrosaminacid 8 (Scheme 2). 9 reacts at room temperature with its potential azomethinimine-function in an intramolecular 3+2]-cycloaddition to give the tricyclic compound 11 (Scheme 2). On irradiation, 9 yields the dihydro-3H-pyrazolo2,3-a]indole 10 which probably arises by intramolecular 3+2]-cycloaddition of the corresponding intermediate nitrilimine.
