Synthesis of NH-, 2H-4,5-Dihydrobenz[g]inazoles and Related Compounds from 1-Tetralone Carbomethoxyhydrazones and Aromatic Esters
文摘
The carbomethoxhydrazones of 1-tetralone, 6-methoxy-1-tetralone, and 5,7-dimethyl-1-tetralone were convertedto dilithiated intermediates with excess lithium diisopropylamide and condensed with aromatic esters to giveC-acylated intermediates that were not usually isolated but cyclized directly with acid to afford theN-carbomethoxydihydrobenzindazoles. These compounds could be separately saponified followed bydecarboxylation to the targeted NH-dihydrobenzindazoles. Single-crystal X-ray analysis for several compoundsindicated that a single tautomer was present, with the NH-hydrogen atom bonded exclusively to the N-2 ofthe products. Theoretical calculations indicated this product to be the more stable of the two tautomers.
