Potential antitumor agents. II. Lappin intramolecular cyclization of diethyl 3-carbazolylaminomethylenemalonate: a structure assignment.
Diethyl 3-carbazolylaminomethylenemalonate undergoes Lappin cyclization giving 2-carbethoxy-1-oxo-1,4-dihydro-7H-pyrido[2,3-c]carbazole. Formation of an angular pyridocarbazole derivative is consistent with the Markwald rule. The synthesis of 4-ethyl derivatives of the above pyridocarbazole and its 8,9,10,11-tetrahydro derivative is also reported as a goal to potential indoloquinolone antitumoral agents.
