cis-Azobenzene has been shown to react with acetyl chloride in the absence of light to form N,N?-diacetyl-4-chlorohydrazobenzene and N?- acetyl-4-chloro-hydrazobenzene as the principal products; 4- phenylaminoazobenzene and acetanilide are also formed in small amounts. In the course of the reaction a metastable dark blue product arises, and, although this could not be satisfactorily characterized, it was found to yield 4-phenylaminoazobenzene on decomposition in methanolic potassium hydroxide or in acetyl chloride. The intense blue-purple coloration, which occurs as soon as the reactants are mixed, enables cis-azobenzene to be readily distinguished from its trans isomer. The nature of the currently reported reaction is discussed in relation to the previously reported photo-induced reaction of trans- azobenzene with acetyl chloride, which yields N,N?-diacetyl-4- chlorohydrazobenzene practically exclusively.

Photoinduced Reaction

The photoinduced reaction of 2,2',4,4'-tetrachloroazobenzene with acetyl chloride has been found to give an unexpected mixture of products, incorporating only a relatively poor yield of the predicted main product, N,N '-diacetyl-2,2',4,4',6-pentachlorohydrazobenzene. It has been found, moreover, that the latter compound in aqueous methanolic potassium hydroxide, in addition to yielding the expected hydrolysis/oxidation product, 2,2',4,4',6-pentachloroazobenzene, undergoes an interesting side reaction which regenerates 2,2',4,4'-tetrachloroazobenzene.

Trans Azobenzene

Irradiation of trans-azobenzene in acetyl chloride, and subsequent hydrolysis-oxidation of the photo product, has been shown to yield a small amount of 2-chloroazo-benzene in addition to 4-chloroazobenzene (main product). Analogous reaction sequences, starting with different acid chlorides, show marked variations in ortho/para substitution ratios; and correlations indicate that the relative extents of ortho and para substitution are associated with the ionizability of the acid chlorides.

An investigation has been made of the photochemical and dark reactions of azobenzene in acetic acid-ferric chloride and acetic acid-aluminium chloride mixtures for comparison with the corresponding reactions of azobenzene in sulphuric acid. The photochemical reactions resulted in cyclodehydrogenation of azobenzene to benzo[c]cinnoline, and small quantities of reduction products of azobenzene were also isolated. The formation of reduction products was again observed in the dark reactions, but there was no sign of cyclodehydrogenation. The significance of these observations is now discussed. Irradiation of azobenzene in acetyl chloride, or in acetic anhydride containing hydrogen chloride, resulted in a novel photochemical reaction in which NN?-diacetyl-4-chlorohydrazobenzene was formed in high yield.

First Time

The photochemical reactions of 4,4?-bis(phenylazo)biphenyl and 4- phenyl-azoazobenzene in 98% sulphuric acid have been examined, for comparison with the corresponding reactions in 22N acid. Photochemical cyclodehydrogenation of 4-phenylazoazobenzene to two benzo[c]cinnoline derivatives has thereby been effected for the first time. The observed course of the latter reaction has led, in turn, to studies of the benzidine rearrangement of 2-(2-phenylhydrazino)benzo[c]- cinnoline, of the photochemical cyclodehydrogenation of 3-phenylazobenzene, and of the photochemical reaction of 2-phenylazobenzo[c]cinnoline. The results of these investigations are now recorded and discussed.

Two chloro and two methyl derivatives of azobenzene-2-carboxylic acid have been found to yield the corresponding derivatives of benzo[c]cinnoline-4- carboxylic acid in good yields when irradiated in 98% sulphuric acid. The question of intramolecular hydrogen bonding in relation to the properties of azobenzene-2-carboxylic acids is discussed. Infrared absorption spectra of the neutral compounds have provided confirmation of internal hydrogen bonding. Attempts to prepare the cis isomers of these azo compounds have been unsuccessful.

2,4,6-Trimethylazobenzene has been shown to undergo photochemical cyclodehydrogenation in sulphuric acid to give 2,4-dimethylbenzo[c]cinnoline and 1,2,4-trimethylbenzo[c]cinnoline. The formation of the former involves cyclization with the loss of a methyl substituent : the formation of the latter involves cyclization with the migration of a methyl substituent. The reaction involves a photochemical disproportionation: 4-(4-aminophenyl)-2,4,6-trimethylcyclohexa-2,5-dienone was also isolated, having been formed by acid-catalysed rearrangement (and hydrolysis) from 2,4,6-trimethylhydrazobenzene. Substituted azobenzenes having a carboxy, iodo, or chloro substituent in the 4-, 3-, or 2-position have also been irradiated and the resulting benzo[c]cinnolines and benzidines isolated and characterized. Irradiation of 2-substituted azobenzenes has been found to give the parent benzo[c]cinnoline as well as the 4-substituted benzo[c]-cinnoline, showing that carboxy-, iodo-, and chloro-substituents can be ejected as well as methyl substituents. The irradiation of azobenzene-3-carboxylic acid has given 1-hydroxybenzo[c]cinnoline-10-carboxylic acid lactone in addition to benzo[c]-cinnoline-3-carboxylic acid.

Substituted benzo[c]cinnolines have been prepared from substituted azobenzenes by photochemical cyclodehydrogenation in 22N sulphuric acid. The reaction seems to involve a photochemical disproportionation as rearrangement products of the corresponding hydrazobenzenes were also formed. 4-Methylazobenzene gave 2-methylbenzo[c]cinnoline. 3-Methylazobenzene gave a mixture of 1- and 3-methylbenzo[c]cinnolines: and 2-methylazobenzene gave 4-methylbenzo[c]cinnoline and benzo[c]cinnoline. The latter result is noteworthy as it indicates that cyclization can proceed with elimination of a methyl substituent. Similar elimination was observed with 2,2'-dimethylazobenzene, which gave 4-methyl-benzo[c]cinnoline as well as the expected 4,7-dimethylbenzo[c]cinnoline. Photochemical cyclodehydrogenations of 4,4'-dimethylazobenzene and of 3,3'-dimethyl-azobenzene have also been studied.
