A Three-Step Synthesis of 1,7-Diazaperylene and Derivatives

Abstract

1,7-Diazaperylene and various derivatives were synthesised in an upscaleable route from 1,5-diaminoanthraquinone and its Meerwein­ reaction with acrylonitrile and subsequent cyclisation with ammonia. The application of tert-butyl alcohol as the solvent led to a significant improvement in the Meerwein reaction.

Key words
