Reactions of 3-aroylpyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzoxa-
zine-1,2,4-triones with activated alkenes were not
reported previously. We examined the reaction of
3-aroylpyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzoxazine-1,2,4-triones Ia
and Ib with alkyl vinyl ethers IIa and IIb at a ratio of
1:5 in boiling benzene (reaction time 30–60 min) and
obtained representatives of a novel difficultly acces-
sible bridged heterocyclic system, 16-alkoxy-14-aryl-
3,15-dioxa-10-azatetracyclo[8.7.0.01,13.04,9]heptadeca-
4,6,8,13-tetraene-2,11,12-triones IIIa and IIIb.
in 60 ml of anhydrous benzene, and the mixture was
heated under reflux until the original violet color dis-
appeared (40 min). The mixture was then cooled, the
solvent was removed, and the residue was recrystal-
lized from toluene. Yield 74%, mp 238–240°C. IR
spectrum, ν, cm–1: 1794 (C2=O), 1728 (C11=O, C12=O).

3.82 m (1H, OCH2), 5.78 m (1H, CH), 7.32–7.87 m

The IR spectra were recorded on an FSM-1201
spectrometer from samples dispersed in mineral oil.
Presumably, compounds IIIa and IIIb were formed
via thermally induced [4+2]-cycloaddition involving
the O=C–C3=C3a conjugated bond system in 3-aroyl-
pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzoxazine-1,2,4-triones I and
polarized C=C bond in alkyl vinyl ethers II.

The H and 13C NMR spectra were measured on
a Bruker AM-400 instrument at 400 and 100 MHz,
respectively, using DMSO-d6 as solvent and tetra-
methylsilane as internal reference. The purity of the
products was checked by TLC on Silufol plates using
benzene–ethyl acetate (5:1) as eluent.
This study was performed under financial support
by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (project
no. 08-03-01032).
