Intramolecular cyclisation of 2-aminobenzophenones; a new 9-acridone synthesis

Abstract
Cyclisation of 2-amino- or 2-acetamido-2′-methoxybenzophenones occurred in the presence of sodium hydride to give 9-acridones. This is a method of wide applicability for the synthesis of substituted acridones. A mechanism for the cyclisation is discussed.
