T h e 2-amino-as-triazino[6,5-c]quinoline as well as 3-aminopyrido[4,3-e]-as-triazine had previously been synthetized by BerCnyi (1) and Benko et a1 (2). In this paper, the ring transformation occuring in aqueous media of the dihydro intermediates and their salts, respectively appearing during the synthesis of 2-substitutedamino-as-triazino[6,5-c]quinolines, are reported.J. Ileterocyclic Chrm.. 18, 1537 (1981).In the course of preparation of our model compounds, 4-chloro-3-nitroquinoline (1) (3) was made to react with the appropriately substituted quanidine 2 and the intermediates obtained (3) were cyclized under alkaline conditions to yield as-triazino[6,5-c]quinoline-4-oxides (4).The reduction of the N-oxides 4a-h resulted in the required model compounds 5a-h which could only be isolated in the form of their salts. Without salt formation, the base underwent oxidation and the ring system became aromatic 6a-h. Scheme I
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
