isomeric products 4 or 5 (Scheme 2). In the case of path A the
substitution of ortho-NO2 occurs under the action of phenolate
anion and tricycles 4 are formed. Product 5 can be formed as a
result of Smiles rearrangement (path B). Such transformations
have been reported for the synthesis of phenoxazines on the basis
of nitroarenes.12

To the best of our knowledge the only azaphenoxazine 4a has
been described so far.13 It was synthesized in a manner similar to
indicated in Scheme 1, however its structure was assigned based
on elemental analysis and 1H NMR spectrum.† At the same time,
these data are insufficient to distinguish 4a from its isomer 5a.
We carried out a detailed study of the structures of compounds 4

using various NMR experiments. For example, H-1H NOESY

path B
spectrum of 4e contains characteristic cross-peak corresponding
to the interaction of spatially close H9 and NH protons (Figure 1).
In case of Smiles rearrangement (formation of compound 5e)
two cross-peaks are expected to appear in NOESY spectrum,
corresponding to the interaction of NH proton with H4 and H6.
These data allowed us to unambiguously confirm the structure of
compounds 4.

General procedure for the synthesis of 4a–e, 8. Triethylamine (0.14 ml,
1 mmol) was added to a solution of compound 3a–e or 7 in DMF (15 ml).
The reaction mixture was kept at 100°C for 4–8 h (TLC monitoring).
Then the mixture was poured into water (150 ml) and acidified with HCl
to pH 1–2. The precipitate that formed was filtered off, washed with water
and dried in air.
