N2  - &#960;-Deficient perimidin-4- and -6-one systems reacted readily with primary and secondary amines at room temperature. Nucleophilic attack occurred not only at the enone double bond, but also at positions 7 and 9 on the benzenoid ring. Highly coloured mono-, di- or tri-aminated derivatives were thereby obtained. A significant degree of bond fixation was indicated. Side-chain amination of 9-methyl substituents was observed, analogous to processes encountered in quinone chemistry. On continued contact with amine the products were converted partly into 9-formyl derivatives and partly into 9-amino compounds.
