Abstract
N-Unsubstituted and N-monosubstituted amides of 2-(4-dimethylaminobenzoyl)benzole acid exist in the chain form of 3-hydroxyisoindolinones in the crystalline state and in solutions in dioxane, whereas the tautomeric amide ⇄ hydroxyisoindolinone equilibrium occurs (except for the methyl derivative) in more polar solvents. The analogous N-(1-adamantanyl)amide exists in the open form and does not undergo cyclization under alkaline catalysis conditions; protonation of the dimethylamino group is accompanied in all cases by splitting out of water to give compounds with a quinoid structure; an equilibrium between the protonated and quinoid forms, which is shifted markedly to favor the latter, is observed for some compounds.
