ChemInform Abstract
The title reaction leads to the isomeric products (III) and (IV). Using aniline, the isomers (IIIa)-(IIIc) are obtained as main products. The isomer (IV) formed by attack on position 3 of (I) usually arises in a small or negligible amount which seems to decrease with decreasing basicity of the aniline compound used and to increase with increasing steric demand of the aniline compound. On the basis of the results the mechanism of the reaction is discussed.
