Attempted heterocyclic syntheses through electrophilic ring closure reactions of 2-allylaniline systems containing larger side chains

Article abstract of DOI:10.1071/CH9942109

The electrophile-initiated cyclization of some 2-allylanilines and their amide derivatives has been further investigated. Although 2-allylanilines with small, allylic substituents such as methyl reacted with iodine to yield 3-iodo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinol
