Abstract: | The properties of 1,3-dimethyl-6,7-dialkoxy-2-benzopyrylium salts were studied. The heterocyclic oxygen atom is readily replaced by nitrogen by reaction of the 2-benzopyrylium salts with primary amines, hydrazine, phenylhydrazine, glycine ethyl ester, and hydroxylamine; reaction with secondary amines leads to naphthalene derivatives. The activities of the methyl groups in the 1 and 3 positions of the heterocyclic ring are compared.For Communication IX, see [6].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1308–1312, October, 1970. |
