■ A Simple Route to Spiroketals via Alkylation of Dihydropyran
Roger Amouroux*
*Laboratoire de Chimie Organique Physique et Synthétique, Associe au CNRS, Université Claude Bernard, Lyon 1, 43, Bd du 11 Novembre 1918, 69622 Villeurbanne Cedex, France
Abstract
3,4-Dihydro-2H-pyran was alkylated, via its 2-lithio derivative, with several O-protected β- or γ-iodo alcohols in excellent yields. Acidic treatment of the resultant 2-substituted dihydropyrans produced both the deprotection of the hydroxyl group and the cyclization to spiroketals.

Abstract
2,7-Dihydro-3,6-diphenyl-1,4,5-thiadiazepine undergoes novel ring contractions via a halogenation-dehalogenation process in methanol, giving sulfur-containing five-membered cyclic compounds: this result is a great contrast to the ring contraction with extrusion of sulfur reported previously.

■ Photolysis and Thermolysis of Quinolyl and Isoquinolyl Azides in Ethanethiol
Hiroyuki Sawanishi, Toyoko Hirai, and Takashi Tsuchiya*
*School of Pharmacy, Hokuriku University, 3-Ho, Kanagawa machi, Kanazawa 920-1181, Japan
Abstract
3-Quinolyl azides (8), upon either irradiation or heating in ethanethiol, gave 3-amino-4-ethylthioquinolines (9), presumably via a radical process. Similarly, 4-isoquinolyl azides (11) gave 3-ethylthio- (12) and/or 1-ethylthio-4-aminoisoquinolines (13), and 8-quinolyl azide (17) gave 7-ethylthio- (18) and 5-ethylthio-8-aminoquinoline (19), while 4-quinolyl azides (15) gave only 8-aminoquinolines (16).

■ Autoxidation of Nitrogen Heterocycles. 1. Ultraviolet Spectra of Alkylpyrroles. Evidence for a Molecular Association Complex between Oxygen and 2,5-Dimethylpyrrole in Non-polar Media
John V. Cooney* and Robert N. Hazlett
*Chemsitry Division, Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, D. C. 20375, U.S.A.
Abstract
Ultraviolet spectroscopy indicates that molecular oxygen associates extensively and reversibly with 2,5-dimethylpyrrole in hydrocarbon solution. The formation of such a molecular association complex is believed to be the first step in the principal autoxidation sequence for this pyrrole.

*Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Hiroshima University, 1-3-1 Kagamiyama, Higashi-Hiroshima, Hiroshima 739-8526, Japan
Abstract
The addition of trimethylsilyl enol ethers (2) to 1-alkoxycarbonylquinolinium salts (1) afforded a mixture of 1-alkoxycarbonyl-2-(2-oxoalkyl or alkoxycarbonyl)-1,2-dihydroquinolines (3) and the corresponding 1,4-dihydroquinolines (4) in high total yield (85-99%). The regioselectivity ( 3/4 = 2.3-19 ) was examined carefully. The easily separated main products (3) were treated with sodium hydride to give the corresponding benzo[c]quinolizine derivatives (5).

Abstract
N,N-Dimethylchloroformiminium chloride (DCFC) was used for preparation of N-heteroarylformamidine hydrochlorides (2), fused oxazoles (4), imidazoles (6, 8) and thiazoles (10). DCFC is advantageous in those cases in which the undesired further methylation of NH, OH, and SH groups could occur by using N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (DMFDMA).

*Division of Organic Chemistry, Regional Research Laboratory, Hyaderabad 500 007, India
Abstract
1,3-Diphenyl derivatives of the new heterocyclic system 1H,9H-tetrazolo[1,2-a]benzotriazole have been prepared by the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of nitrileimines to benzotriazole. 1-(N-phenylbenzhydrazidoyl)-benzotriazoles are also formed simultaneously in the reaction and have been found to be stable and not convertible into the respective tetrazolobenzotriazoles. The tetrazolobenzotriazoles do not decompose into the benzhydrazidoyl benzotriazoles. Methylation of benzotriazole inhibits the addition of the dipole.
