Abstract
5,6-Dichloro-5,6-dihydro-1,10-phenanthroline (2) was found as an addit ional product of the hypochlorous acid action on I,10-phenanthroline. When treated with MCPBA the product of the chlorine addition yielded a corresponding di-N-oxide 3, which readily lost hydrogen chloride unde r the influence of sodium isopropoxide. The resulting monochloro di-N- oxide 5 molecules (assumed to be flat) revealed a satisfactory stabili ty unless the neutral or basic solution was made acidic. (C) 1997, Els evier Science Ltd.
