The reaction of o-methylphenylnitrene in the presence of alcohol and amine was expected to give isomeric pairs of 3- and 7-methyl-3H-azepine derivatives. The formation ratio between these isomers was found to be obviously influenced by reaction temperature, that is, reaction at 150 °C gave 7-methyl-3H-azepine derivative, however, it became minor under 70 °C in both media. The ratio between 3- and 7-methyl derivatives is explained by a scheme of kinetic- and thermodynamic-controlled product distribution from o-methylphenylnitrene to 3- and 7-methyldehydroazepine intermediates which are trapped by nucleophilic media to give 3- and 7-methyl-3H-azepine derivatives.
在醇和胺的存在下,邻甲基苯基硝基苯烯的反应预计会产生 3-甲基和 7-甲基-3H-氮杂卓衍生物的异构体对。研究发现,这些异构体之间的生成比例明显受反应温度的影响,即在 150 ℃ 下反应生成 7-甲基-3H-氮杂卓衍生物,但在 70 ℃ 下,两种介质中的生成比例都很小。3-甲基和 7-甲基衍生物之间的比例可以用动力学和热力学控制的产物分布方案来解释,即从邻甲基苯基硝基苯烯到 3-甲基和 7-甲基脱氢氮杂卓中间体,这些中间体被亲核介质截留,生成 3-甲基和 7-甲基-3H-氮杂卓衍生物。
