Thermal transformations of 2H-benzimidazole 1,3-dioxides

Abstact Thermal transformations of 2 H -benzimidazole 1,3-dioxides represented by spiro[2 H -benz-imidazole-2,1′-cyclohexane] 1,3-dioxide and its 5-nitro derivative were studied. Their heating resulted in reversible isomerization to spiro[3 H -[2,1,4]benzoxadiazine-3,1′-cyclohexane] 4-oxides. More p...

Zusammenfassung:Abstact Thermal transformations of 2 H -benzimidazole 1,3-dioxides represented by spiro[2 H -benz-imidazole-2,1′-cyclohexane] 1,3-dioxide and its 5-nitro derivative were studied. Their heating resulted in reversible isomerization to spiro[3 H -[2,1,4]benzoxadiazine-3,1′-cyclohexane] 4-oxides. More prolonged heating of 2 H -benzimidazole 1,3-dioxides caused sequential elimination of the first and then (at higher temperature) the second N-oxide oxygen atom to form 2 H -benzimidazole derivatives, which upon further heating were transformed to 7,8,9,10-tetrahydro-6 H -azepino[1,2- a ]benzimidazoles. A scheme of the process was suggested, which described the experimental data obtained. Spiro[3 H -[2,1,4]benzoxadiazine-3,1′-cyclohexane] 4-oxides on exposure to the sunlight were quantitatively transformed to 2 H -benzimidazole 1,3-dioxides.
