Abstract

An efficient synthesis of alkyl 8-hydroxy-6,10-di­oxo-6,10-dihydro-5H-pyrido[1,2-a]quinoxaline-7-carboxylates and alkyl 8-hydroxy-6,10-dioxo-6,10-dihydropyrido[2,1-c][1,4]benzoxa­zine-7-carboxylates is described. This involves the reaction between malonyl dichloride and alkyl 2-[3,4-dihydro-3-oxo­quinoxaline 2(1H)-ylidene]acetates or alkyl 2-(2-oxo-2H-benzo[b][1,4]oxazin-3(4H)-ylidene)acetates in CH2Cl2 at room temperature.

General Procedure for the Synthesis of Compounds 4
To a suspension of 3 (2 mmol) [¹8] in CH2Cl2 (10 mL) was added of malonyl dichloride (0.29 g, 2.1 mmol) at r.t. The reaction mixture was then stirred for 15 min. The formed precipitate was filtered off and washed with CH2Cl2 to afford the pure product. Compound 4a: pale yellow powder; mp 300-304 ˚C (dec.); yield 0.56 g (98%).
