Abstract
Mesitonitrile oxide, but not benzonitrile oxide, adds to ate-analogues of phenanthrene to give low yields of monocycloadducts. Only phenanth ridine reacts with the two nitrile oxides affording phenanthridinone. 4,7-phenanthroline also gives some other minor products among which th e bisadduct to a pyridine ring was isolated. The reactivity of aza-ana logues under examination is discussed in terms of FMO approximation. ( C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
