It was shown previously that 4-acyl-1H-pyrrole-
2,3-diones fused at the N1–C5 bond to various hetero-
cycles (hetareno[a]pyrrole-2,3-diones) react with
mono- and difunctional nucleophiles via initial addi-
tion at the C1 or C3a carbon atom of the hetareno[a]-
pyrrole skeleton [1].
Although the possibility for other (than those in-
dicated above [1]) direction of nucleophilic attack on
4-acyl-1H-pyrrole-2,3-diones fused at the N1–C5 bond
to various heterocycles was theoretically predicted
about 20 years ago [2], products of such reactions were
isolated for the first time.
By reactions of 3-benzoylpyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxa-
line-1,2,4(5H)-trione (Ia) with phenylhydrazine and of
3-benzoyl-1H-benzo[b]pyrrolo[1,2-d][1,4]oxazine-
1,2,4-trione (Ib) with 2-hydrazinobenzoic acid (reac-
tant molar ratio 1:1, anhydrous acetonitrile, 1–3 min
under reflux; TLC monitoring), we obtained products
resulting from nucleophilic attack at the C2 carbon
atom, (Z)-3-benzoyl-2-(2-phenylhydrazono)pyrrolo-
[1,2-a]quinoxaline-1,4(2H,5H)-dione (IIa) and
(Z)-2-{2-(3-benzoyl)-1,4-dioxo-1H-benzo[b]pyrrolo-
[1,2-d][1,4]-oxazin-2(4H)-ylidenehydrazino}benzoic
acid (IIb). The product structure was proved by X-ray
analysis of compound IIb.
(Z)-3-Benzoyl-2-(2-phenylhydrazono)pyrrolo-
[1,2-a]quinoxaline-1,4(2H,5H)-dione (IIa). A solu-
tion of 1.0 mmol of phenylhydrazine in 10 ml of anhy-
drous acetonitrile was added to a solution of 1.0 mmol
of compound Ia in 30 ml of anhydrous acetonitrile.
The mixture was heated for 3 min under reflux and
cooled, and the precipitate was filtered off. Yield 69%,
