Flash vacuum pyrolysis of the 1,5-diazapentadienes (4)-(10) gave moderate yields of pyrroles together with quinolines, formed by electrocyclic ring closure with elimination.The pyrroles were formed by hydrogen transfer from an N-alkyl group, followed by cyclisation and final aromatisation of the resulting dihydropyrrole intermediate by free-radical cleavage.The mechanism of the hydrogen transfer and cyclisation is not known with certainty, but may involve diradicals or 1,5-dipolar intermediates.
