Abstract

The cyclization of 3-N(4- and 5-benzimidazolyl and benztriazolyl)amino-2-cyano- and 2-ethoxycarbonyl-2-propenoate esters Ia, b-IVa, b under the conditions of the Gould-Jacobs reaction leads to angularly ring-fused substituted imidazo or triazolo[4,5-f] (V, VI) and [4,5-h] (VII, VIII) quinolines, respectively. The esters Vb-VIIIb have been transformed into the corresponding chloroderivatives Vc-VIIIc. 3-N(5-Benzimidazolyl and 5-benztriazolyl)amino-2-cyano-2-propenenitriles are cyclized in the presence of aluminium(III) chloride to give the aminoquinolines Vd, VId. The structure of the products has been characterized by their 1H, 13C NMR, IR, and UV spectra.
