Abstract
The 15N, 13C, and 1H NMR spectra were measured for azo and hydrazo compounds derived from 1,3,3-trimethyl-2-methylidene-2,3-dihydroindole (Fischer base), which is a passive component with a terminal methylidene group. Products prepared by coupling in hydrochloric acid exist in the corresponding hydrazone form as the E-isomers. Neutralization gives a mixture of two isomeric azo compounds which differ in the arrangement at the C(2)=C(10) double bond. This mixture was alkylated with methyl iodide to obtain the =N-N(CH3)- hydrazone derivatives. The geometric isomers were resolved based on the NOESY approach and the stereospecific behaviour of the 2J(15N,13C) coupling constants was studied for the 15N-labelled compounds.
