  • Published:
Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

4-Aryl-2-methylbutan-2-ols with methoxy or methylenedioxy substituents participate in the Graf–Ritter reaction with methyl thiocyanate in the presence of an acid (H2SO4, MeSO3H) forming 1-methylsulfanyl-2-benzazepines in low yields (11–35%), which undergo cyclization with benzhydrazide or hetarenecarboxylic acid hydrazides upon reflux in o-dichlorobenzene into the corresponding 3-phenyl- and 3-hetaryl-6,7-dihydro-5H-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-a][2]benzazepines (45–74% yields).
