Preparation of fused n-phenyl-substituted pyridinium derivatives by direct phenylation with nucleogenic phenyl cations

Chemical effects of nuclear transformations and possible formation of unknown derivatives with N-phenylquinazolinium structure

Quinazoline derivatives are well known to have a diverse array of therapeutic activities. Unfortunately, “classic” chemical synthesis does not provide an opportunity for the formation of N-phenyl quaternary 1,3-diazinium compounds. A devised nuclear-chemical method of synthesis based on chemical effects of nuclear transformations enables a new way of the direct nitrogen atom phenylation by the nucleogenic (generated by tritium β-decay) phenyl cations in 1,3-diazines, furnishing, based on our prediction, formation of previously unknown derivatives with N-phenyl quaternary quinazolinium scaffold.
