Abstract

Treatment of iminophosphrane 3, derived from ethyl α-azido-2-(allyloxy) cinnamate, with aromatic isocyanates in toluene at 150 o C leads to the corresponding isoquinoline derivatives 5 by a tandem electrocyclic ring closure/Claisen rearrangement of the intermediate carbodiimide. Fremy's salt promoted oxidation of compounds 5 yields the 5,8-isoquinolinequinone allides 6, which by heating undergo cyclization to 2H-pyrano [2,3-f] isoquinolines isocyanates to give the corresponding carbodiimides, which by thermal treatment at 150 o C undergo a consecutive electrocyclic ring closure/Claisen rearrangement/intramolecular amination process to give 1,9-diazaphenalene derivatives
