Abstract
Cyclocondensation reaction of ethyl 7,8-diamino-1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylate with 1-methylisatin produced a separable mixture of the corresponding indolo[3,2-b]- and [2,3-b]pyrido[2,3-f]quinoxaline-3-carboxylates, of which the latter isomer predominates. On the other hand, interaction with 1H-isatin or 5-chloroisatin gave the respective indolo[2,3-b]pyrido[2,3-f]quinoxaline-3-carboxylates as the sole regiospecific products. The structures of these new pentacyclic derivatives are based on microanalytical, spectral (IR, MS, and NMR) and X-ray crystal structure data.
