14H-Naphtho[1′,2′:5,6] pyrano[2,3-b]quinoline derivatives

Reaction of (N-alkyl-N-phenyl)ethoxycarbonylacetamides with β-naphthol in the presence of phosphorus oxychloride afforded 1-oxo-3-(N-alkyl-N-phenyl)amino-1H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyrans. These compounds underwent reaction with N,N-dimethylformamide-phosphorus oxychloride at 95° yielding a mixture of 14H-naphtho[1′,2′:5,6]pyrano[2,3-b]quinoline derivatives and 1-oxo-2-formyl-3-(N-alkyl-N-phenyl)amino-9-oxy-1H-phenalene.

The structures of such compounds were demonstrated by spectral data and by chemical transformations. On the other hand, the expected formylation in the 2 position was achieved when 1-oxo-3-(N-alkyl-N-benzyl)amino-1H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyrans reacted with N,N-dimethylformamide-phosphorus oxychloride.

A series of 7,12-dihydropyrimido[1′2′:1,2]pyrido[3,4-b]mdole-4(6H)-ones was prepared by Fischer indolization of 9-arylhydrazono-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrirmdin-4-ones.

A series of monomethoxynaphtho[1′,2′:4,5]thieno[2,3-c]quinolines has been prepared by photocyclization of the appropriate N-methoxyphenyl-1-chloronaphtho[2,1-b]thiophene-2-carboxamides. Some of the lactams obtained were converted into the thiolactams and their S-methyl derivatives. The lactams were also converted into the corresponding 6-chloro derivatives. Some of these were catalytically dechlorinated into the monomethoxynaphtho[1′,2′:4,5]thieno[2,3-c]quinolines which were then quaternized into the N-methyl quaternary salts.
