Abstract

Thermal cyclocondensation of starting ethyl (1-methyl-5- and 6-benzimidazolyl/benzotriazolyl)aminomethylenepropanedioates (Ia - Ie) in aprotic medium gives angularly condensed ethyl azolo[4,5-f]quinolonecarboxylates IIa, IIc, IIe and azolo[5,4-f]quinolonecarboxylates IIb, IId, respectively, which are hydrolyzed to the corresponding carboxylic acid III in acid medium. The structure of reaction products has been confirmed by 1H and 13C NMR, IR, and UV spectroscopy.
