ortho-Formyl substituted arylazomethylenetriphenylphosphoranes: a novel facile intramolecular thermal rearrangement with N
N bond fission
Abstract
The arylazomethylenetriphenylphosphoranes (1a) and (1b) afford, in good yields, the quinazolin-4-one derivatives (4a) and (4b)via a facile thermally promoted rearrangement, with NN bond cleavage and elimination of PPh3.
