Azidoquinoline and Azidopyridine Derivatives. II. Reactions of 4-Azidoquinoline 1-Oxide.

Abstract

Several reactions of the azido group in 4-azidoquinoline 1-oxide were examined. It was found out that they could generally be classified under-mentioned three groups. 1. A radical reaction after the loss of the two nitrogen atoms, i.e., dimerization and hydrogen abstraction reactions of produced diradical. 2. A substitution reaction with the loss of azido group, i.e., ionic reaction. 3. An addition reaction to formation of tetrazole.
