Intramolecular Nitrene Insertions into Aromatic and Heteroaromatic Systems. Part 7. Insertions into Electron-deficient Rings

A number of routes to o-aminotriphenylmethanes are described, where one benzene ring, or both, carry potential ester groups.The most useful synthon is shown to be the 1,3-dioxan-2-yl substituent, and using this methyl 2-aminodiphenylmethane-4'-carboxylate (18) and dimethyl 2-aminotriphenylmethane-4',4''-dicarboxylate (28) have been prepared.The azides from these, respectively (19) and (29), on thermolysis at 200 deg C gave azepinoindoles (48) and (51), the first examples of ring expansion by an arylnitrene of benzene rings with electron-withdrawing substituents.Also reported are syntheses of 3- and 4-(2-azidobenzyl)pyridines (38) and (39), and of 2-(2-azidobenzyl)thiazole (40); decomposition of these azides gave mainly polymers.
