A versatile synthesis of acridine-1,9-diones

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919708004810

Alkylation of ethyl 2-(4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinolin-2-yl)acetate by Michael addition with various alkenes has been carried out. The C-α alkylated intermediates so formed can be cyclized with hot polyphosphoric acid to acridine-1,9-diones.
