title: Studies on the antitumor 2,6-piperazinediones: synthesis of 2,3-diacetoxy-4-carbomethoxy-(3',5'-dioxo-N4' substituted piperazinyl methyl) benzene.
abstract: The title compounds having the structure of 2,3-diacetoxy-4-carbomethoxy-(3',5'-dioxo-N4'-substituted piperazinyl methyl) benzene were synthesized from 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde in eight steps. Compound 9h showed a potent inhibitory effect against P388 leukemia cells in vitro.
