Palazzo, S., L. I. Giannola, and S. Caronna Reaction of Formation of 2-Substituted 4-Quinazolinones in Polyphosphoric Acid Synthesis of Glycosminine. Atti Accad. Sci. Lett. Arti Palermo, Parte 1, 34, 339 (1976) [Chem. Abstr. 89, 43309n (1978)]. 

The synthesis of 2,4-dihydroxyacetophenone [89-84-9] (21) by acylation reactions of resorcinol has been extensively studied. The reaction is performed using acetic anhydride (104), acetyl chloride (105), or acetic acid (106). The esterification of resorcinol by acetic anhydride followed by the isomerization of the diacetate intermediate has also been described in the presence of zinc chloride (107). Alkylation of resorcinol can be carried out using ethers (108), olefins (109), or alcohols (110). The catalysts which are generally used include sulfuric acid, phosphoric and polyphosphoric acids, acidic resins, or aluminum and iron derivatives. 2-Chlororesorcinol [6201-65-1] (22) is obtained by a sulfonation—chloration—desulfonation technique (111). 1,2,4-Trihydroxybenzene [533-73-3] (23) is obtained by hydroxylation of resorcinol using hydrogen peroxide (112) or peracids (113). 

Pomeranz-Fntsch Synthesis, Isoquinolines aie available fiom the cycUzation of benzalamiaoacetals undei acidic conditions (165). The cyclization is preceded by the formation of the Schiff base (33). Although the yields ate modest, polyphosphoric acid produces product in all cases, and is especially useful for 8-substituted isoquinolines (166). 

An interesting synthesis of quinolizidines was achieved using a vinylogous variation of the Bischler-Napieralski reaction. Angelastro and coworkers reported that treatment of amide 26 with PPSE (polyphosphoric acid trimethylsilyl ester) followed by reductive... 

Polyphosphoric acid is a commonly used catalyst for this reaction however, in some cases a mixture of hydrogen bromide/acetic acid gives better results. Acylation of the S-phenyl-, V-(4-tolyl)- or S-(l-naphthyl)-substituted thiobenzenepyruvic acids 3a-c affords the corresponding dibenzo[A,/]thiepins in satisfactory yields, while reaction of the S-(4-methoxyphenyl) or S-(2-naphthyl) derivatives fails to provide any thiepin.60 The intramolecular Friedel-Crafts acylation of 2-(arylsulfanyl)benzeneacetic acids also yields the corrresponding dibenzothiepins in this case the use of hydrogen fluoride sometimes results in purer products.38 The applicability of this method is restricted to the synthesis of stable bisannulated thiepins. 

Polyphosphoric acid is preferred except in the case of the formamido compounds 1, R3 = H. The synthesis fails with diphenylamine derivatives lacking a substituent on nitrogen, benzimidazoles being produced (see Houben-Weyl, Vol. E8c, p 231 flf).

Dibenzo[/>,/]thiepin derivative (39) has been obtained by cyclization of 2-arylthio-5-nitrophenylpyruvic acid (38) in the presence of polyphosphoric acid 33>. The use of this Friedel-Crafts type reaction is restricted to the synthesis of the stable di- and tri-annelated thiepins such as 40 33), 41 7), and 42 34). 

This approach involves intermolecular cyclization of two six-membered heterocycles substituted with appropriate functional groups. Synthesis of 83 by the reaction between 2-aminopyridines and 3-ethoxycarbonyM-pipcridonc hydrochloride 82 in polyphosphoric acid is provided as an example (Equation 5) <1996T7789>. 

In order to study heterocyclic steroid analogues, such as the 7,11-dithiaazasteroid analogues, Fravolini developed the synthesis of new heterocyclic ring systems tri- and tetracyclic 2,1-benzothiazines <82JHC1045>. Intermediate 137 was prepared from 1-methyl-4-oxo-lH-2, -bcnzothiazinc-4(3f/)-onc 2,2-dioxide 37 and thioglycolic acid and could be converted into 6-methyl-4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2//,6//-thiopyrano[3,2-c][2,l]benzothiazine 5,5-dioxide 138 by cyclization with polyphosphoric acid. The reaction of 138 with dimethyl... 

Pinney et al. reported the synthesis of benzothiophene CA4 analogs and an example synthesis is given in Scheme 38 [83]. Benzothiophene (145) was produced by reacting aromatic thiol 146 with a-bromoacetophenone 147 to generate the sulfide 148. Compound 148 was then cyclized to the benzothiophene 149 using polyphosphoric acid and heat. Formation of 145 was achieved by Friedel-Crafts aroylation of 149 with the methoxybenzoyl chloride 144. 

An alternative route to furyl compounds of similar structure was reported by Yao et al. <2005BML511> the same starting amine 409 was N-aminated to the 1,2-diaminopyrazinium mesylate 412, which was ring-closed by treatment with furylaldehyde to yield 413 in rather poor yield. The synthesis of the pyrrolidinylcarbonyl derivative 415 in a cyclocondensation reaction of 414 by use of polyphosphoric acid was reported by Giardina et al. <1995FA405>. 

Nagai et al. carried out various transformations with camphor-fused amino[l,2,4]triazine 191 <1998JHC293> (Scheme 39). Reaction of 191 with chlorocarbonylsulfenyl chloride yielded the fused thiadiazolone 192 in high yield (83%). The same starting compound also proved to be suitable for the synthesis of the fused triazole derivative 193. To this end, 191 was first subjected to two subsequent transformations first by dimethylformamide dimethylacetal followed by treatment with hydroxylamine hydrochloride to give an Ar-hydroxyamidine 193 in 90% overall yield, and then this compound was treated with polyphosphoric acid to yield the fused triazole product 194 in 92% yield. 

A powerful and efficient method for the preparation of poly(ketone)s is the direct polycondensation of dicarboxylic acids with aromatic compounds or of aromatic carboxylic acids using phosphorus pentoxide/methanesulfonic acid (PPMA)16 or polyphosphoric acid (PPA)17 as the condensing agent and solvent. By applying both of these reagents to the synthesis of hexafluoroisopropylidene-unit-containing aromatic poly(ketone)s, various types of poly(ketone)s such as poly(ether ketone) (11), poly(ketone) (12), poly(sulfide ketone) (13), and poly-... 

D-Glucose 6-phosphate is converted enzymically into L-wyo-inositol 1-phosphate (20) in a process which requires NAD+. The base-catalysed cyclization of d-xylo-hexos-5-ulose 6-phosphate (21), followed by reduction with borohydride, leads to (20) and epi-inositol 3-phosphate (22) (Scheme 3).59 This has been put forward as a chemical model for the enzymic synthesis. The phosphorylation of inositols with polyphosphoric acid has been described80 and the p-KVs of inositol hexaphosphate have been determined by 31P n.m.r.61... 

Two years later, Craig and Robinson attempted an alternative synthesis of 8 with a more symmetrical pathway starting from derivatives of fluoranthene. Cycliza-tion of fluoranthene-7,10-diacetic acid 14 was attempted to produce diketone 15, expected to enolize to the dihydroxycorannulene 16. Unfortunately, several attempts at cyclization failed, including anhydrous hydrofluoric acid, concentrated sulfuric acid, and polyphosphoric acid. Friedel-Crafts cyclization of the corresponding acid chloride of 14 with aluminum or stannic chloride was similarly unsuccessful. However, although Craig and Robinson were not successful, they developed a convenient synthesis of 7,10-disubstituted fluoranthenes which turned out later to be of premium importance in a new, successful synthesis of corannulene. 

Considerable efforts have centered on carrying out the synthesis of polybenzimidazoles at more moderate temperatures. Polymerization of the isophthalic acid or its diphenyl ester have been successfully carried out in polyphosphoric acid or methanesulfonic acid-phosphorous pentoxide at 140-180°C, but the reaction is limited by the very low solubilities (<5%) of the reactants in that solvent. The lower reaction temperature is a consequence of activation of the carboxyl reactant via phosphorylation. Lower reaction temperatures are also achieved in hot molten nonsolvents such as sulfolane and diphenyl sulfone, but the need to remove such solvents by a filtration or solvent extraction is a disadvantage. 

The synthesis of the benzazepinone portion of benazepril began with monobromination of 1-tetralone (35), followed by oxime formation to give 36 (Scheme 10.9). A Beckmann rearrangement mediated by polyphosphoric acid provided the ring-expanded lactam 37. Displacement of the a-bromine with potassium phthalimide installed the necessary...
