| Abstract: | Ethyl esters of  -(3-chloro-1,4-naphthoquinon-3-yl)crotonic or cinnamic acids were obtained by the reaction of 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone with ethyl esters of N-substituted  -aminocrotonic or -aminocinnamic acids. These esters were converted by alkaline fusion into benz[f]indole-4,9-dione-3-carboxylic acids, and into ethyl esters of benz[g]indole-4,5-dione-3-carboxylic acid by the action of acetic acid.Deceased.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 66–68, January, 1989. |
