bicyclo[4.2.0]octa-1,3,5-trien-7-amine

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: An alternative process is that wherein a 3- or 4-halobenzocyclobutene reactant is treated with a phthalimide or maleimide to produce a 3- or 4-phthalimido-or maleimidobenzocyclobutene. When phthalimide or maleimide is monomeric, for example, phthalide or maleimide themselves, the product can be cleaved by reaction with an amine to produce a corresponding aminobenzocyclobutene. A preferred amine for this purpose is hydrazine, preferably hydrazine hydrate.

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.
