The reaction of 7,12-dihydro-5H-isoquino[2,3-a]quinazolin-5-ones with o-xylidene dibromide leads to 11-oxo-4bH,5H,10H,11H,16H-10a-aza-15b-azoniadibenzo[a,e]pleiadene bromides, which are converted to 11-oxo-10H,11H,16H-10a-aza-15b-azoniadibenzo[a,e]pleiadene salts upon oxidation using nitrobenzene. The reaction of these salts with benzylamine leads to 6-{2-[(benzylimino)methyl]phenyl}-7,12-dihydroisoquino[3,2-b][2]benzazepin-14(6H)-ones, which recyclize to 11-oxo-5H,10H,11H-10a-aza-15b-azoniadibenzo[a,e]pleiadene perchlorates upon the action of perchloric acid. The reactions of the 10a,15b-diazadibenzo[a,e]pleiadene salts obtained with NaBH4 were studied and the structures of the reduction products were determined by spectral methods.
