A. Kakehi et al., PREPARATION OF NEW NITROGEN-BRIDGED HETEROCYCLES - 45 - SMOOTH HYDROLYSIS OF 6-MEMBERED HETEROCYCLIC 2-IMINES WITH PARTIAL AROMATICITY, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 46(10), 1998, pp. 1632-1634
The treatment of 2H-pyrano[2,3-b]indolizin-2-imines and 2H-thiino[3,2-
a]indolizin-2-imines with acetic acid at reflux temperature smoothly a
fforded the corresponding 2H-pyrano[2,3-b]indolizin-2-one and 2H-thiin
o[3,2a]indolizin-2-one derivatives in moderate to good yields. An X-ra
y analysis of a 2H-thiino[3,2-a]indolizin-2-one derivative was also pe
rformed.
