A comparison has been made of the types of ortho substituents which can be incorporated into a new heterocyclic ring by pyrolysis of aryl azides or during oxidation of anilines with phenyliodoso acetate. The results enable a new mechanism to be proposed for the amine oxidation. In its key step, the ortho substituent displaces iodobenzene from an intermediate iodoso ester to form the cyclic oxidation product. A competing reaction path involves homolysis of this iodoso ester to yield the free-radical precursors of azo compounds.

The Green-Rowe oxidation of 2-nitroanilines with alkaline hypochlorite, to yield benzofuroxans, is demonstrated by studies of the visible spectra of transient intermediates to proceed through N-chlorination and a singlet nitrene. Two variations on the route to the nitrene are possible. The cyclization step is represented as an internal capture of the nitrene by the ortho substituent, and on this basis the Green-Rowe oxidative cyclization is now extended to anilines whose ortho substituent is benzoyl or phenylazo. It is not however successful for ortho phenyl. Azo compounds were observed as byproducts in some of these reactions, and are shown to arise via N,N-dichloroanilines.

Lead(IV) tetraacetate has been used to oxidize 1-aminoanthraquinone, 1-arylazonaphthalen-2-amines and benzenamines whose ortho-substitutents were arylazo, nitro, or benzopl. Only the amines with ortho-arylazo substituents underwent oxidative cyclization, to yield triazoles; the others yielded azo compounds and polymers. Experimental evidence shows that neither nitrenes nor arenamino ('anilenium') cations can be the reactive intermediates in some of these reactions. All the results can be rationalized in terms of the conjugate acid-base pair of intermediates, arenamine cation ArNH2+' and arenamino ArNH.

The proton magnetic resonance spectra of deuterochloroform solutions of a number of ortho-substituted anilines and their S-acyl derivatives have been measured. Variations in the acylation shifts of the ring protons are explained in terms of intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the amide proton and the ortho-substituent. Calculations of the contribution made to the acylation shifts by the anisotropy of the amide group were found to be too sensitive to the molecular geometry to be of any real value. Acylation shifts for a series of 4'-substituted 2'-nitroacetanilides correlate well with the σp values of the 4'-substituents.

For the oxidative cyclization of 2,4-dinitroaniline and 2- benzoylaniline with (diacetoxyiodo)benzene in toluene solution, the kinetic orders are unity in amine and oxidant, zero in iodobenzene and cyclic product, and -1 in monomeric acetic acid. These characteristic orders are also those observed for 2-nitroaniline and, together with evidence for a specific solvation effect by acetic acid on the reaction rates of all three amines, indicate that a common mechanism of oxidative cyclization applies to a range of ortho-substituted anilines. For 2-benzoylaniline, there is infrared evidence of an N-H bond in an iodoso intermediate. ��� Equilibrium constants for the monomer ↔ dimer equilibrium of acetic acid in toluene solution have been determined at four temperatures between 25� and 46�.
