An investigation has been made of the photochemical and dark reactions of azobenzene in acetic acid-ferric chloride and acetic acid-aluminium chloride mixtures for comparison with the corresponding reactions of azobenzene in sulphuric acid. The photochemical reactions resulted in cyclodehydrogenation of azobenzene to benzo[c]cinnoline, and small quantities of reduction products of azobenzene were also isolated. The formation of reduction products was again observed in the dark reactions, but there was no sign of cyclodehydrogenation. The significance of these observations is now discussed. Irradiation of azobenzene in acetyl chloride, or in acetic anhydride containing hydrogen chloride, resulted in a novel photochemical reaction in which NN?-diacetyl-4-chlorohydrazobenzene was formed in high yield.

11H-Dibenzo[c,f]-[1,2]-diazepine is converted into a mixture of dibenzo[c,f]-[1,2]-diazepin-11-one, 2,2?-diaminobenzophenone, and 2,2?- diaminodiphenylmethane when irradiated in weakly acidic ethanol. Irradiation of the same compound in concentrated sulphuric acid appears to give only a sulphonic acid derivative of diaminobenzophenone. No photochemical reaction occurs in neutral ethanol or in benzene.

First Time

The photochemical reactions of 4,4?-bis(phenylazo)biphenyl and 4- phenyl-azoazobenzene in 98% sulphuric acid have been examined, for comparison with the corresponding reactions in 22N acid. Photochemical cyclodehydrogenation of 4-phenylazoazobenzene to two benzo[c]cinnoline derivatives has thereby been effected for the first time. The observed course of the latter reaction has led, in turn, to studies of the benzidine rearrangement of 2-(2-phenylhydrazino)benzo[c]- cinnoline, of the photochemical cyclodehydrogenation of 3-phenylazobenzene, and of the photochemical reaction of 2-phenylazobenzo[c]cinnoline. The results of these investigations are now recorded and discussed.

Acetylations of 3-ferrocenyl-1-methylpyrrole as well as 3-cyano-4-ferrocenylpyrrole and 3-cyano-4-ferrocenyl-1-methylpyrrole were performed. The course of the acylation is highly dependent on the acylation agent, that is acetyl chloride/aluminum chloride (method A), trifluoroacetic anhydride-acetic acid mixture (method B) or acetic anhydride/Sc(OTf)3 (method C). Method A gives the acetylation on ferrocene moiety, method B affords the trifluoroacetylation on pyrrole moiety and method C affords pyrrole moiety acetylation. Vielsmeier-Haack formylation gives the products of substitution on pyrrole moiety.

Mixed Anhydride

Linear anhydrides are formed by the action of acetic anhydride on p-toluene-sulphonylglycine and carbobenzyloxy-glycine, -phenylalanine, and -β-alanine. The anhydrides from the first two acids yield the corresponding 2-thiohydantoin with ammonium thiocyanate in acetic acid. Other methods for the preparation of l-p-toluenesulphonylglycine anhydride, and its 2-thiohydantoin, are also given. Hippuric acid, with ethyl chlorocarbonate and triethylamine yields ethyl hippurate, probably via the mixed anhydride and 2-phenyloxazol-5-one. The inclusion of ammonium thiocyanate gives 1-benzoyl-2-thiohydantoin in high yield. The N-carboxy anhydride of phenylalanine (4-benzyloxazolid-2,5-dione) also reacts with ammonium thiocyanate to give carbon dioxide and 5-benzyl-2-thiohydantoin.

Group Migration

Nitration of 4-tert-butyl-1,2-dimethylbenzene in acetic anhydride gives trans-1-tert-butyl-3,4-dimethyl-4-nitro-1,4-dihydrophenyl acetate (6), trans-1-tert-butyl-3,4-dimethyl-4-nitro-1,4-dihydrophenol, 2-tert-butyl-4,5-dimethylphenyl acetate, 5-tert-butyl-2-methylbenzaldehyde, 4-tert-buty]-1,2-dimethyl-5-nitrobenzene, and 4-tert-butyl-1,2-dimethyl-6-nitrobenzene. 2-tert-Butyl-4,5-dimethylphenyl acetate and 3,4-dimethylphenyl acetate are the major products of solvolysis of 6 in moist acetic acid. Both of these compounds are likely formed via the cation generated by ionization of the nitro group. Under more acidic conditions 5-tert-butyl-2-methylbenzaldehyde and 4-tert-butyl-1,2-dimethyl-6-nitrobenzene, formed via the cation generated by acid-catalysed loss of acetate, become dominant, the balance between these products being controlled by the basicity of the solvent. More basic solvents deprotonate the cation to a triene, a key step in the formation of the aldehyde, at a competitive rate with the nitro group migration.

Trans Azobenzene

cis-Azobenzene has been shown to react with acetyl chloride in the absence of light to form N,N?-diacetyl-4-chlorohydrazobenzene and N?- acetyl-4-chloro-hydrazobenzene as the principal products; 4- phenylaminoazobenzene and acetanilide are also formed in small amounts. In the course of the reaction a metastable dark blue product arises, and, although this could not be satisfactorily characterized, it was found to yield 4-phenylaminoazobenzene on decomposition in methanolic potassium hydroxide or in acetyl chloride. The intense blue-purple coloration, which occurs as soon as the reactants are mixed, enables cis-azobenzene to be readily distinguished from its trans isomer. The nature of the currently reported reaction is discussed in relation to the previously reported photo-induced reaction of trans- azobenzene with acetyl chloride, which yields N,N?-diacetyl-4- chlorohydrazobenzene practically exclusively.

A previously reported method for converting azobenzene into 4-chloroazobenzene (via N,N'-diacetyl-4-chlorohydrazobenzene) has been extended to the preparation of di-, tri-, and tetra-chloroazobenzenes.
