The reactions of azine phosphoranes 1a-f(R = aromatic or methyl, R1 - alkyl) with benzalphthalide (2a) in xylene under reflux gave the 6-(phenylmethylene)-5H-pyrazolo[1,5-d][2,4]benzoxazepines 9a-f. The phosphoranes 1g (R = R1 = phenyl) and 2a similarly treated gave 5H,7H-pyrazolo[1,5-d] [2]benzazepin-6-one 10g. Similar treatment of phosphorane 1 h or 1 i (R = R1 = p-chlorophenyl or p-methoxyphenyl) gave the azine ylidene 6h or 6i. Only compound 6h was converted into the corresponding 9h in a sealed tube at 240-degrees-C. A mechanism for the formation of products 9 and 10 was proposed. The configuration of the exocyclic double bond of ring-closed compounds 9 was determined both by NOE experiments and by X-ray crystallographic analysis. The reactions of a number of azine phosphoranes 1 with lactones 2b and 2c were also discussed. Ethyl (E)-(3'-oxo-1,3-dihydrobenzofuran-1-ylidene)acetate (2c) gave the unusual 2H-indeno[2,3-e]pyridine-3,9-diones 18 rather than the expected pyrazolo-fused heterocyclic compounds commonly encountered in azine rearrangements. The structures of 18c and 18d were confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analyses. 3-(Cyanomethylene)phthalide (2b) gave an azine compound 16h. Mechanisms for the reactions were proposed. H-1, C-13, and mass spectral data of all of the products were reported.
