N-Heterocycles

2-Azidoaniline reacts with aromatic aldehydes to give N-(2-azidophenyl)imines which react with trimethylphosphine and then with diphenylketene to produce 6,11-dihydrobenzimidazo[1,2-b] isoquinolines in excellent yields by formal [4+2]-intramolecular cycloaddition of ketenimine with imine function of the intermediates. Benzimidazo[1,2-b]isoquinolines are obtained in good yields when 6,11-dihydrobenzimidazo[1,2-b]isoquinolines are refluxed with palladium/carbon in PhMe (Scheme 60) [24, 103–104].

In contrast to thiobenzophenone (25) and other aromatic thioketones, their hetaryl analogues do not react with α-diazoketones neither at standard thermal conditions nor upon LiClO4 catalysis. For that reason, the microwave irradiation was applied to support the formation of a carbene intermediate [19]. For example, the reaction of 2-diazo-1,2-diphenylethanone (azibenzil, 33) with phenyl thiophen-2-yl thioketone (34) in toluene solution, after 2 min irradiation gave a mixture of 1,3-oxathiole 35 and thietan-2-one 36 (Scheme 7). This result demonstrates the intermediacy of the carbene formed via elimination of N2 from 33, which either reacts with thioketone 34 to give a thiocarbonyl ylide or, alternatively, undergoes the Wolff rearrangement to yield diphenylketene. The latter reacts in a regioselective [2 + 2]-cycloaddition with 34 forming 36. The [2 + 2]-cycloaddition of diphenylketene with diverse hetarylthioketones, including 34, has been reported recently [20].
