1.3- Benzotriazines

As noted above, a convenient pathway to cinno-lines consists of intramolecular condensation of a diazonium group with a ketonic methyl group, or alternately with a double bond. The analogous reaction with an amide nitrogen leads to 1,2,3-benzotriazines, such as 198. Reaction of isatoic anhydride with N-aminomorpholine affords the hydrazide 196 then, treatment with nitrous acid yields initially the diazonium salt (197). Under the reaction conditions...
