A. Da Settimo et al., Synthesis of novel 5H,11H-pyrido[2 ',3 ': 2,3]thiopyrano[4,3-b]-indoles byFischer-indole cyclization, J HETERO CH, 37(2), 2000, pp. 379-382
The synthesis of the title compounds 5H,11H-pyrido[2',3':2,3]thiopyrano[4,3
-b]indoles was accomplished by the Fischer indole cyclization of some 2,3-d
ihydrothiopyrano[2,3-b]pyridin-4(4H)-one phenylhydrazones and 7-methyl-2,3-
dihydrothiopyrano[2,3-b]pyridin-4(4H)-one phenylhydrazones. The synthesis o
f the new 2,3-dihydrothiopyrano[2,3-b]pyridin-4(4H)-one, which was used as
one of the starting compounds, is also described.
