Ma. Gomaa et al., REACTION OF N-1,N-2-DIARYLACETAMIDINES WITH 2,3-DICYANO-1,4-NAPHTHOQUINONE, Journal of chemical research. Synopses, (8), 1997, pp. 284-285
The reaction of the N-1,N-2-diarylacetamidines 1a-d with 2,3-dicyano-1
,4-naphthoquinone (2) led to the formation of benzo[f]isoquinoline der
ivatives 6a-d; the reaction mechanism is discussed.
