Lw. Deady et Aj. Kaye, FUSED TETRACYCLIC QUINOXALINES FROM REACTIONS OF O-PHENYLENEDIAMINES IN POLYPHOSPHORIC ACID, Australian Journal of Chemistry, 50(5), 1997, pp. 473-478
The condensation of 2,3-diaminobenzoic acid and the 5-chloro derivativ
e with o-hydroxyphenylglyoxylic acid, isatin and benzothiophen-2,3-dio
ne in polyphosphoric acid leads to the appropriate tetracycles. Isomer
ic products are formed from these unsymmetrical diamines, and methods
of assigning particular structures are described.
