N-Substituted diaza[12]annulenes are obtained by one -pot reaction of N-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)pyridinium chloride with amines in moderate to high yields. The 1H NMR spectrum reveals that diamagnetic ring current is generated in the diaza[12]annulene ring. The N-substituted diaza[12]annulenes are electrochemically active in solution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
