Notes:
Cycloacylation of formamidine with bisimidoyl chlorides of oxalic acid yields the new 1,4,5,8-tetraazafulvalenes 4 via dimerization of carbenoid intermediates. The high symmetry of the stable heterofulvalenes as well as their dye character is confirmed by NMR and UV/Vis spectral data. Whereas methylation of these substrates leads to a mixture of diastereomeric tetramethyl derivatives 9a, b, cyclization with thiophosgene or triethyl orthoformate gives mainly the fused-ring derivatives of 2H-imidazole 10 and 12a, b, respectively. In the case of 12a, the X-ray crystal structure reveals the approximately ideal planarity of the central tetraazafulvalene subunit.
