“…Aza- ortho -xylylenes generated from 3-alkylbenzosultams do not enter [4+2] cycloaddition but undergo a [1,5] sigmatropic hydrogen shift leading to 2-vinylaniline derivatives. − A domino reaction consisting of a series of pericyclic processes including cheletropic extrusion of SO 2 , [1,5] sigmatropic hydrogen shift, and [4+2] cycloaddition takes place in thermally initiated transformation of 1-allyl-4-nitrobenzosultams. , Thus, 1-methyl-3-allyl derivative of benzosultam undergoes thermolysis to 1-arylbuta-1,3-diene, which can be trapped by N -phenylmaleimide to form phenanthrolinone (Scheme 130) …”
