Trifluoroacetic acid catalyzed dibenzodiazocine synthesis: Optimization and mechanism study

Dibenzo[b,f][1,5]diazocines, a class of potential building blocks for novel electrochemical actuators, were synthesized via a novel, efficient acid-catalyzed reaction of 2-acylbenzoisocyanate at room temperature. Real-time NMR analysis and the captured intermediate showed the mechanism was an unprecedented cyclization of the isocyanate with the neighboring acyl group, followed by the dimerization.

Ring-chain tautomerism. Part 10 +. The reaction of oxocarboxylic acids with diazodiphenylmethane

The rate coefficients for the esterification of a series of oxocarboxylic acids with diazodiphenylmethane have been determined in ethanol or 2-methoxyethanol at 30.0°C. These and the rates of reaction with model compounds have been used to estimate the equilibrium constants for ring-chain tautomerism for the oxocarboxylic acids.
