Abstract
6-Methyl-2-phenyl-4H-1,3-oxazin-4-one (1) undergoes novel ring transformation upon treatment with oxime dianions to give isoxazoles (3a-d) and pyridine N-oxides (4c-f). The reaction of 1 with cycloheptanone oxime (2a) or cyclododecanone oxime (2b) in the presence of two equivalents of butyllithium affords isoxazole (3a or 3b). With acetophenone oxime (2c) or acetoxime (2d), pyridine N-oxide (4c or 4d) is formed as a minor product in addition to isoxazole (3c or 3d). Treatment with cyclopentanone oxime (2e) or cyclohexanone oxime (2f) yields pyridine N-oxides (4e or 4f) as a sole product.

■ Polyannulated Tropylium Compounds Having Benzothiazine and Related Heterocyclic Rings. Formation of o- and p-Benzoquinonoid Products by Rearrangement
Tetsuo Nozoe,* Kimio Shindo,* Hidetsugu Wakabayashi, and Sumio Ishikawa
*Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Josai University, 1-1 Keyakidai, Sakado, Saitama 350-0295, Japan
Abstract
Tropylium compounds having tri-annulated heterocycles (11 and 15) are obtained by the reaction of 2,4-dibromo-7-methoxy- and 3,5,7-tribromo-2-methoxytropone with O-aminophenol and O-aminobenzenethiol, via di-annulated compounds. Rearrangements to di- and tri-annulated o- and p-benzoquinonoid compounds (13, 16 and 20) take place during the attempted synthesis of some tri-annulated tropylium systems. Possible pathways for these reactions are discussed.

*Sandoz Research Institute, Sandoz, Inc., Route 10, East Hanover, New Jersey 07936, U.S.A.
Abstract
Syntheses of two isomeric series of 4-oxoquinolin-2-yl-6-heptenoic acid derivatives 7 and 8 are described. The quinolinone portion of the molecules was constructed from the reaction of either an N-alkyl- or N-arylisatoic anhydride with an appropriate ketone enolate. The side-chain was elaborated by way of an aldol condensation using ethyl acetoacetate dianion fllowed by stereoselective ketone reduction. The N-aryl series 8 exhibited significantly greater inhibitory activity than the N-alkyl series 7.

*Institute "Ruder Boskovic", University of Zagreb, 411000 Zagreb, Croatia
Abstract
Reaction of the title compound 1 with aniline gave two Schiff’s bases 2 and 3, while condensation of 1 with phenylhydrazine afforded four products 4 - 7. Compounds 4 and 6 were formed after initial nucleophilic attack at the central carbonyl carbon of tricarbonylic moiety, while 5 and 7 were formed after initial attack at the 4-position of the 2-pyrone ring. These structures were confirmed by the selective preparation of 4 - 7 from pyranopyrandiones 12 and 13, respectively. Pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid derivatives 6 and 7 cyclize in acetic anhydride into fused pyrano[4,3-c]pyrazoles 8 and 9, respectively. Their structures were compared with that of the parent 3-methyl congeners 14 and 15, obtained from dehydraacetic acid.
