Abstract

10-Propenylphenothiazine  reacts  with a catalytic amount of BF3·Et2O in dry ethyl acetate via intramolecular heterocyclization of an intermediate  dimeric  cation to give mainly 1-ethyl-2-methyl-3-(phenothiazin-10-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrido[3,2,1-k,l]phenothiazine and a minor product through fission  of phenothiazine which is 1-ethyl-2-methyl-1H-pyrido[3,2,1-k,l]phenothiazine. Under similar conditions 10-propenylphenoxazine gave an oligomer (degree of  polymerization 4.4)  and  the  minor product 1-ethyl-2-methyl-1H-pyrido[3,2,1-k,l]phenoxazine likely formed similarly to the phenothiazine analog from the corresponding  product  of  intramolecular heterocyclization (the latter not being observed in the reaction mixture).
