“…As shown in Table 2, various 2-aminobenzamides (1a-1z)w ere employed in this reaction to synthesize av ariety of 1,2,3benzotriazine-4(3H)-ones in good yields.F irst, when R 1 was an aromatic substituent, all of the desired products( 2a-2n)w ere obtained in moderate to good yields.N otably, the reactions of 2-amino-N-arylbenzamides bearing electron-donating groups (4-Me,4 -OMe or 4-t-Bu) on the phenylr ing of R 1 gave higher yields than those of the substrates bearing electronwithdrawing groups (4-CF 3 )ont he phenyl ring. However, 4-phenylbenzo[d] [1,2,3]triazine (8)w as not observed, and a5 0% yield of 4-phenylquinazoline (8a)w as obtainedw hen 2-aminobenzophenone (7)was employed as the substrate.Similarly,w hen nitroethane was used instead of nitromethane,t he reactiono f7 gave2 -methyl-4-phenylquinazoline (8b)w ith a5 9% yield (Scheme 2d). Subsequently,s ubstrates with aliphatic groups, such as benzyl, n-butyl,i sopropyl, cyclohexyl and tertbutyl as R 1 substituents could also be employed to give the corresponding products 2p-2t in 70-86% yields.U nfortunately,2 -aminobenzamide (2u)d id not give the desired product.F inally, 2-aminobenzanilides with various R 2 substituents such as methyl, methoxy, fluoro, chloro and bromo were also employed in this reaction, giving the desired products 2v-2z in 68-85% yields.A mong these reactions,s ubstrates with electron-rich substituents (1v or 1w)g aveh igher yields than those with electron-deficient ones (1x, 1y or 1z) because of the differences in amino nucleophilicity.…”
