Abstract
The corresponding merocyanins (II and III), which are not capable of intramolecular cyclization to form spiropyrans, were obtained by the condensation of quaternary salts of 2- and 4-methylquinoline with o-hydroxyaryl aldehydes. In contrast to II and III, the products of the condensation of 5, 6-dimethylphenanthridinium salts with o-hydroxyaryl aldehydes (IV and V) exist, under the usual conditions, in the spiropyran form, while the derivative of 5-nitrosali-cylaldehyde can be isolated in both the cyclic and merocyanin forms. These differences are associated with the magnitude of the positive charge on the carbon atom which participates in closing the pyran ring.
