Reactions of Quinolizine- and Pyridino[1,2–a]pyrimidine-3-diazonium Tetrafluoroborates with Aliphatic Amines

Keywords Reactions of 1-cyano-4-oxo-4H-quinolizine-3-diazonium tetrafluoroborate (1a) and 4-oxo-4Hpyridino[ 1,2-a]pyrimidine-3-diazonium tetrafluoroborate (1b) with aliphatic amines 2a - g were studied. Treatment of heteroaryldiazonium salts 1 with secondary amines 2a - d afforded the corresponding N-alkyl-N’-heteroaryltriazenes 3a - h in high yields. On the other hand, reactions of 1a with aliphatic primary amines 2e - g resulted in an unexpected rearrangements into the corresponding picolinic acid N-alkylcarboxamides 4a - c.
