Reaktionen von Isochinolinium-Salzen mit Hydroxylamin-Derivaten, 3. Mitteilung. Mechanismus der Aminoxid-Bildiung

摘要

2-Methylpapaverinium iodide (1) reacted with hydroxylamine to papaverine-N-oxide (2), but without a detectable intermediate and only in moderate yield, caused by the steric hindrance of the 1-substituent. The ring opened product of 2-dinitrophenylisoquinolinium salt with hydroxylamine, the enamine-oxime 3b gave rise to a 3-substituted cyclic nitrone (6), when heated with triethylamine. This alkali-stable compound was transformed with acid quantitatively to isoquinoline-N-oxide (4). The enaminonitrile 9c, treated with triethylamine showed cyclization to the iminoisoquinoline 10, which by loss of nitrous acid produced the tetracyclic azaindole 11. The 2-methoxyisoquinolinium salt 16 was cleaved with O-methylhydroxylamine to the resistant di (O-methyloximes) (20a/b), unable to form the amine oxide 4. From these and former results, a mechanism for the ring opening of cycliminium salts and the recyclization to amine oxides was proposed.
