The allenecarboxanilides 6a-f, the amide nitrogen atom of which is part of a benzo-condensated five-, six-, or seven-membered ring, are synthesized via phosphorus ylides.Thermolysis of 6 in refluxing xylene induces the intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction only in those cases, where the heterocycle is six- or seven-membered.The allenecarboxamide 6b with the six-membered ring bearing only one benzene nucleus in addition furnishes the quinoline derivatives 9 and 10 as main products, while in the case of the allenecarboxamides 6a,c possessing a five-membered heterocycle no reaction takes place whatever.It is tried to explain this different thermolytic behaviour by taking into consideration the spatial arrangement of the two reacting ?-systems (allene and arene) determined by the structure.
