3-Aminobenzo[cjcinnoline has been prepared from 2,2',4-trinitrobiphenyl and from 2,2'-dmitro-4-ammobiphenyl. The preparations of 1-nitrobenzo[cjcinnoline, x-nitrobenzo [cjcinnoline, and their corresponding amines as reported by Smith and Ruby have been confirmed. The fourth possible isomer, y-nitrobenzo [c jcinnoline, and the corresponding amine have been prepared from benzo [cjcinnoline. In attempts to assign positions to these isomers it was found that 4-dimethylaminoazobenzene could be cyclized to 2-dimethylaminobenzo [c jcinnoline in an eutectic melt of aluminum trichloride.
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.
