F. Guillier et al., SYNTHESIS OF 4,5-DISUBSTITUTED BENZO[C][2,7]NAPHTHYRIDINES BY COMBINED METALATION-PALLADIUM-CATALYZED CROSS-COUPLING STRATEGIES - PREPARATION OF 8H-PYRIDO[4,3,2-MN]ACRIDONE AS A MODEL OF CYSTODYTIN ALKALOIDS, Synthetic communications, 26(23), 1996, pp. 4421-4436
A short and efficient synthesis of 8H-pyrido[4,3,2-mn]acridone is desc
ribed. The strategy involves the preparation of 4-chloro-5-methylbenzo
[c][2,7]naphtyridine, as key intermediate, by metalation and Palladium
catalyzed cross-coupling reaction. A second cross-coupling reaction a
nd subsequent oxydation by SeO2 led to the title compound.
