Intramolecular trapping of N-nitrenes: oxidation products of 3-amino-2-(2,4-dimethoxyphenylpropyl)quinazolin-4(3H)-one
Abstract
Oxidation of the title N-aminoquinazolone (2) with lead tetra-acetate in methanol gave the bridged structure (4) which, when left in methanol, was converted into (5) whose cyclopentane ring-containing structure was confirmed by X-ray crystallography.
