SYNTHESIS AND TRANSFORMATIONS OF SOME QUINOLINES AND 1H-PYRIDO[3,2-C]AZEPINES CONTAINING AMINO-ACID UNITS

The synthesis of two complex acetyl azides 5 and 12 having quinoline or pyrido[3,2-c]azepine ring bound to the acetyl group through the ring nitrogen, and their further transformations into the corresponding carbamates 6 and 13, isocyanates 7 and 14 and 1-unsubstituted heterocyclic compounds 8 and 15 are described. The later compounds were debenzoylated on heating in concentrated sulfuric acid to give the corresponding products 9 and 16.
