Abstract

Recent publications2~ 3 have described a general synthesis of benzo [c] quinolizinium derivatives from appropriate trans-2'-chloro-2-stilbazoles. This synthesis involves photochemical isomerization of the trans stilbazoles in benzene solution to give crude cis trans mixtures. The cis isomers, on heating, undergo intramolecular quaternization during which quinolizinium salts are precipitated. It was of interest to determine whether this ...
