Abstract

Abstract A versatile synthetic route to new 4-quinolone-based polycyclic systems is described. TFA-catalyzed intramolecular reaction of N-unsubstituted quinolone-2-carboxylic acid amides gives structurally diverse compounds, depending on the length of the chain. Acid treatment of β-oxoamides furnishes 3H-pyrazino[1,2-a]quinoline-4,6-diones, due to the nucleophilic attack of N-1 to the carbonyl group, whereas TFA treatment of δ- and e-oxoamides leads to the formation of tetracyclic compounds by a tandem heteroannulation reaction.
