Abstract
The reaction of the isocoumarin derivative cetylimino-3-methyl-1H-2-be nzopyran-4-carbonitrile (1a) with aromatic ortho diamines provides ent ry to the benzimidazo[2,1-a]isoquinoline and related systems. Various conversions of the methyl and cyano groups in the tetracycles into ami de, aldehyde and acid functions have been carried out, along with stud ies of electrophilic nitration.
