does not represent a hydroxyl radical.
This reaction is generally carried out in the presence of bromine, chlorine, chloramide and copper(II) chloride, in an organic solvent such as acetic acid, at a temperature between 15° C. and the boiling point of the reaction medium. As alkali metal thiocyanate, it is preferable to use potassium thiocyanate. As alkali metal selenocyanate, it is preferable to use potassium selenocyanate.
The derivatives of formula (II), with the exception of 6-trifluoromethyl 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline, 2-methyl-6-trifluoromethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline, 6-trifluoromethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoxaline and 2-oxo-7-trifluoromethyl-3,4-dihydroquinoxaline, are new and, as such, form part of the invention.
The compounds of formula (I) for which R
2
represents an alkyl radical may be prepared by alkylation of a corresponding compound of formula (I) for which R
2
represents a hydrogen atom.
This alkylation is carried out by any method which makes it possible to alkylate an imine functional group. Preferably, the procedure is carried out by means of a derivative Ra-X in which Ra represents an alkyl radical and X represents a reactive group such as a halogen atom (preferably chlorine, bromine or iodine) or a tosyloxy radical, in an in,ert organic solvent such as a lower aliphatic alcohol (ethanol, propanol or butanol for example), a ketone (acetone or methyl ethyl ketone for example) or dimethylformamide, in the presence of a base such as an alkali metal carbonate (potassium carbonate for example), at a temperature between 20° C. and the boiling point of the reaction medium.

—R

— represents a chain of formula —CH

—R

This reaction is carried out by any method which makes it possible to pass from a ketone to an alcohol. The procedure is generally carried out by means of sodium borohydride, in an alcohol such as methanol or ethanol, at a temperature of between 0 and 25° C.

This oxidation is carried out according to known methods of oxidizing sulphur-containing derivatives as described by M. HUDLICKY, Oxidations in Organic Chemistry, ACS Monograph, 186, 252-263 (1990). For example, the procedure is carried out by the action of an organic peracid or a salt of such an acid (percarboxylic or persulphonic acid, in particular perbenzoic acid, 3-chloroperbenzoic acid, 4-nitroperbenzoic acid, peracetic acid, pertrifluoroacetic acid, performic acid or monoperphthalic acid) or inorganic peracids or a salt of such an acid (for example periodic or persulphuric acid), in an inert solvent such as a chlorinated solvent (chloroform or dichloromethane for example), at a temperature of between 0 and 25° C. It is also possible to use hydrogen peroxide and a periodate (sodium periodate for example), in an inert solvent such as a lower aliphatic alcohol, water or a mixture
