The synthesis of novel polycyclic heterocyclic ring systems via photocyclization. 7. [1]Benzothieno[2,3-c]naphtho[2,1-h]quinoline and [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]naphtho[2,1-h][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoline

The synthesis of two novel polycyclic heterocyclic ring systems via photocyclization is described. These are 1]benzothieno2,3-c]naphtho2,1-h]quinoline and 1]benzothieno2,3-c]naphtho2,1-h]1,2,4]triazolo4,3-α]-quinoline. In the ¹H nmr spectrum the proton at position 6 is strongly deshielded in the first ring system while the proton at position 6 in the second ring system is shifted considerably upfield while the proton at position 8 in the second ring system is the most deshielded proton in that ring system. The bay regions in both ring systems are severely congested.
