As part of my master's thesis, I synthesized various already known 3-benzoylamino-2H-pyran-2-ones, which I subsequently reacted with maleic anhydride, yielding a double Diels–Alder cycloadducts. The products obtained were variously substituted bicyclo[2.2.2]octene systems. I investigated if and how the choice of solvent and the change in reaction temperature affects the course and efficiency of the bicyclo[2.2.2]octene synthesis.
In the next stage, I derivatized various substituted bicyclo[2.2.2]octene systems with different heterocyclic amine systems. Through nucleophilic substitution with an NH$_2$ group on the succinic anhydride fragments, substituted succinimide fragments were formed. The final products contained two azine rings attached to the succinimide fragments.
All compounds were analyzed using TLC, IR, MS, and $^1$H NMR spectroscopy. Product analysis showed that not every solvent is suitable for the synthesis of bicyclo[2.2.2]octene systems. I successfully prepared some nitrogen derivatives of bicyclo[2.2.2]octene systems that have not been synthesized before.
