Abstract
The substituent effect in the base-catalyzed cyclization reaction of 2,3-bis(2-cyanophenyl)propionitriles (1) to 5-amino-11-cyano-11H-indeno[1,2-c]isoquinolines has been studied and the result is discussed in terms of the dichotomic carbanion reactivities of 1. Preparation of 1 and the tautomerism of 5-acetamido-11-cyanoindeno[1,2-c]isoquinolines between 5H and 11H structures are described.
