Condensed Pyridine Bases. Synthesis and Reactions of Benzofuro[2,3-c]indeno[2,1-e]-, Benzothieno[2,3-c]Indeno[2,1-e]-, Benzofuro-[3,2-c]Indeno[2,1-e]- and Thieno[2,3:4′,5′]-thieno[3,2-c]indeno[2,1-e]pyridines

Condensation of hetarene carboxaldehydes with phthalide gave 2-(3-hydroxy-1-oxoinden-2-yl)benzo[b]furan and 2-(3-hydroxy-1-oxoinden-2-yl)-5-ethylthieno[2,3-b]thiophene. Starting from hetaryl acetic acids gave 3-(3-hydroxy-1-oxoinden-2-yl)benzo[b]furan and 3-(3-hydroxy-1-oxoinden-2-yl)benzo[b]thiophene. Acylation of 3-hydroxy-1-oxoinden-2-yl-substituted heterocycles using acetic anhydride in the presence of 70% HClO₄ leads to the formation of pentacyclic pyrilium salts. Pentacyclic indenopyridines are prepared by treating the pyrilium salts with ammonia. The reaction of the carbonyl group in the indenopyridines with hydroxylamine, hydrazine hydrate, and in reduction using NaBH₄ has been studied.__________Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 435–443, March, 2005.     

Anomalous Beckmann Reaction of 4-Aryl-2,7,7-trimethyl-5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline Oximes in Polyphosphoric Acid. 1. New Synthesis of 1-Ethoxycarbonyl-2,5,5-trimethyl-5,6-dihydro-4H-pyrido[2,3,4-k,l]acridines

Transformations of oximes of 4-aryl-2,7,7-trimethyl-5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinolines in PPA have been studied. It is shown that the reaction, depending on substituent at position 4 of quinoline ring, can occur in three directions: aromatization of the saturated ring (Semmler-Wolff aromatization), formation of azepinones - normal products of Beckmann rearrangement, and formation of pyridoacridines.     

Anomalous Beckmann Reaction in a Series of Oximes of 4-Aryl-2,7,7-trimethyl-5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinolines in Polyphosphoric Acid. 2. Unexpected Synthesis of 3'-Ethoxycarbonyl-4',7',7'-trimethyl-4-oxo-2',6',7',8'-tetrahydrospiro(cyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,2'-pyrrolo[4,3,2-d,e]quinolines)

Oximes of 3-ethoxycarbonyl-4-halo(methoxy)phenyl-2,7,7-trimethyl-5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinolines are converted in polyphosphoric acid (PPA) into 3'-ethoxycarbonyl-4',7',7'-trimethyl-4-oxo-2',6',7',8'-tetrahydrospiro(cyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,2'-pyrrolo[4,3,2-d,e]quinoline). An X-ray structural analysis has been carried out on one of the synthesized compounds.
