Abstract
Polynuclear aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds with peri-annelated fiveand six-membered rings include perimidine derivatives and show a range of useful properties. The development of novel, efficient methods for preparation of such compounds is a current challenge. Although methods for preparing perimidines containing a pyrrole ring are quite numerous [1-3], there are only very limited ways for synthesizing aceperimidines [3-5]. Such methods can be based on the dinitration of acenaphthene, reduction of the nitro derivative, and subsequent cyclization using various reagents. The drawback of such methods is the large number of stages. In our work, we propose a method of synthesizing aceperimidines from the available 4-acetyland 4-benzoylacenaphthenes 1a-e, using a system of reagents developed at our laboratories [6-8]. It was found that reaction of ketones 1a-e with a fourfold excess of sodium azide in polyphosphoric acid (PPA) for 1 h at 70-80°C, followed by 4 h at 100-110°C gave the aceperimidines 3a-e in 27-46% yields.
