Nenitzescu reaction of acetyl ketene aminals (N,N-acetals) was investigated. The interaction of 2-acetyl-l-amino-l-anilinoethene with benzoquinone gave 3-acetyl-2-amino-7a-hydroxy-l-phenyl-5,7a-dihydro-IH-indol-5-one, which was then transformed into 3-aeetyl-2-amino-6-chloro-5-hydroxy-l-phenylindole. The reaction of benzoquinone with 2-acetyi-lamino-l-benzoylaminoethene led to the corresponding hydroquinone-adduct which was oxidized to 4-acetylamino-5-(2,5-dihydroxyphenyl)-2-phenyloxazole.

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.
