Azatropolones. Part II. The Schmidt Reaction of 2-Methoxy-5-methylbenzoquinone
Keyword(s):
2-Methoxy-5-methylbenzoquinone undergoes reaction with sodium azide in sulfuric acid to give (a) 3-hydroxy-6-methyl-1H-azepin-2,5-dione, which undergoes ring contraction with base to give 5-methyl-4-pyridone-2-carboxylic acid; (b) 4-methoxy-7-methyl-1H-azepin-2,5-dione, which reacts with phosphorus oxychloride to give methyl 2-chloro-6-methylpyridine-4-carboxylate, not 2-chloro-4-methoxy-7-methyl-5H-azepin-5-one; (c) 7-methoxy-4-methyl-1H-azepin-2,5-dione. The reactions of these compounds are discussed and the evidence for their structures is presented.
