Abstract

It should be pointed out that the cyclization of anil-amide IX must not involve dehydration to form the corresponding amine (XI) followed by hydrolysis, since this amine was shown to be stable under similar conditions. Amine XI was prepared from IT by means of phosphorus oxychloride and ammonia. One attempt to prepare it from anilamide IX by means of phosphorus pentoxide was unsuccessful. A similar cyclization, involving dehydration, has ...
