AbstractThe Gould-Jacobs reaction of 5-amino-2,1,3-benzoselenadiazole afforded solely angularly annulated 8-substituted 9-oxo-6,9-dihydro-[1,2,5]selenadiazolo[3,4-f]quinoline derivatives. In the course of thermal cyclization no linear products were observed. Nucleophilic vinylic substitution of activated enolethers with 5-amino-2,1,3-benzoselenadiazole was also studied.
