Summary.
Bis-imidoylchlorides of oxalic acid react rapidly with magnesium shreds in dry THF under ultrasonic conditions to give 1,5-naphthyridine derivatives and the isomeric indigodianiles. Using a cross-over experiment the existence of key intermediates corresponding to dimeric isocyanides could be verified.
Zusammenfassung.
Bis-imidoylchloride der Oxalsäure reagieren mit Magnesiumspänen in trockenem THF und unter Ultraschallbedingungen zu den 1,5-Naphthyridinderivaten und den isomeren Indigodianilen. Durch Untersuchungen des Reaktionsmechanismus konnten Hinweise auf radikalische C2-Schlüsselintermediate vom Typ dimerer Isocyanide erbracht werden.
