Functiaonalization of 2-(1-Cyclohexen-1-yl)aniline Derivatives

Resumo

The reaction of 2-(1-cyclohexen-1-yl)aniline and -6-methylaniline with phthalic anhydride has afforded 2-(2-cyclohex-1-en-1-ylphenyl)- and 2-(2-cyclohex-1-en-1-ylphenyl)-6-methylphenyl)-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-diones. The reaction of the obtained isoindole-1,3-diones with bromine in dichloromethane in the presence of sodium bicarbonate has led to the formation of the product of pseudo-allylic halogenation. Replacement of the halogen atom by methoxy group has been performed by keeping 2-[2-(6-bromocyclohex-1-en-1-ylphenyl)-6-methylphenyl)]-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione in a methanolic solution in the presence of NaHCO₃. The reaction of 2-(2-cyclohex-1-en-1-yl-6-methylphenyl)-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione with molecular bromine in the presence of methanol has given a co-halogenation product, whereas the dibromination product has been obtained in the presence of octyl alcohol.
