Crystals of 4-bromo-1,1,3,3,5,7,7,9,9- nonamethylbicyclo[4,4,0]pentaborophane, C9H35B5P5Br, are monoclinic, with a = 9.502(3), b = 20.185(15), c = 13.604(4) Ǻ, β = 116.49(2)�. The space group is P21/c, with four molecules in the cell. Intensity data were collected by means of an automated diffractometer. The atomic positions have been determined by least-squares refinement of 2859 observed reflections. The final residual, R, is 0.077. The molecule contains a framework of alternat- ing boron and phosphorus atoms constituting a decalin-like ring system. The two cis-fused cyclo- hexane type rings are both in the chair conformation. The bromine atom is equatorially bonded to the boron atom in the 4-position. The Br-B bond length is 2.039(10) Ǻ. The average P-B and P-C distances are 1.943 and 1.828 Ǻ respectively. Average internal ring angles are 112.2� for P-B-P, and 113.6� for B-P-B. This geometry indicates only very slight charge delocalization in the cyclic system.

Meisenheimer rearrangement of the N-oxides (4) derived from a series of 5-aryl-4-methyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1,4-benzoxazepines (3) gave rise to eight derivatives (5) of the new 2H,6H-1,5,4-benzodioxazocine ring system. Reaction of 9-methoxy-5-methyl-6-phenyl-3,4,5,6- tetrahydro-2H-1,5-benzoxazocine (6) with 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid gave an unstable N-oxide (7). A Meisenheimer rearrangement product from (7), 10-methoxy-5-methyl-7-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-7 H-1,6,5- benzodioxazonine (8), the first example of this ring system, was isolated directly in moderate yield on oxidation of (6) with cooling. The crystal and molecular structure of (8) has been determined by X-ray crystallographic methods.

Derivatives (6a-c) of the 1,4,5-benzodioxazocine ring system have been prepared in low-to-moderate yields by hydrazinolysis of {2-[2-(1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2-yl)oxyethyloxy]aryl}phenylmethanones(5a-c), and cyclization of the products at pH c. 4. Only in the case of (6b) was a trace of a cyclic dimer (7b) detected, in contrast to the analogous preparations of the 2H-1,5,6-benzodioxazonine derivatives (1a-c) where 18-membered cyclic dimers (8a-c) formed as by-products. The crystal and molecular structure of 6-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1,4-5-benzodioxazocine (6a) has been determined by single-crystal X-ray methods.

The preparation of the tetracyclic derivatives, (5) and (11), thienanalogues of the tetrahydroprotoberberine alkaloids, is described. Cyanogen bromide-induced water solvolysis of these isomeric compounds proceeded by different routes. 9,10-Dimethoxy-4,7,12,12a- tetrahydro-5H-benzo[g] thieno [3,2-a] quinolizine (11) under these conditions gave as the major product 4-(2-hydroxymethyl-4,5- dimethoxybenzyl )-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothieno[3,2-c]pyridine-5- carbonitrile (12); no azecino derivatives were detected. By contrast such cleavage of 2,3-dimethoxy-5,8,12,12a-tetrahydro-6H- benzo [a] thieno [3,2-g] quinolizine (5) gave a major solvolytic ring- expanded product, 12-hydroxy-9,10-dimethoxy-4,5,6,7,12,13- hexahydrothieno [3,2-e][3]benzazecine-5-carbonitrile (15), and a minor elimination product, (E)-9,10-dimethoxy-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothieno[3,2- e][3]benzazecine-5-carbonitrile (16). These last two compounds are examples of a new tricyclic ring system. From functional group interconversions of (15) was derived the N- methyl ketone (18), the first thieno analogue of the protopine alkaloid system. The crystal and molecular structure of this compound, 9,10-dimethoxy-5-methyl-4,5,6,7,12,13-hexahydrothieno[3,2-e][3] benzazecin - 12-one (18), has been determined by single-crystal X-ray methods.
