Synthesis of novel fused azecine ring systems through application of the tert-amino effect

Novel fused azecine ring systems were synthesized via the microwave-assisted thermal isomerization of terphenyl or biphenyl-pyridazine compounds possessing a vinyl and a tert-amino group, through application of a new extension of the tert-amino effect. Substrates for the ring closure were prepared from ortho-dihalobenzene or pyridazinone by consecutive Suzuki couplings with ortho-sec-amino- and formylphenylboronic acids, followed by Knoevenagel condensation of the aldehydes obtained.
