We previously described spiro heterocyclization of
C carbon atom of pyrrole I, followed by closure of
1
-substituted ethyl 4,5-dioxo-2-phenyl-1H-pyrrole-3-
new pyrrole ring as a result of intramolecular attack by
the amino group on the ester carbonyl carbon atom and
elimination of methanol.
The described reaction may be regarded as a new
method for building up difficultly accessible spiro-
carboxylates with 3-arylamino-1H-inden-1-ones at
ratios of 1:1 and 1:2, which led to the formation of
spiro[indeno[1,2-b]quinoline-10,3′-pyrrole] [1] and
spiro[diindeno[1,2-b:2′,1′-e]pyridine-11,3′-pyrrole]
derivatives [2], respectively. In both cases, the reac-
tions involved the 4-C=O group of the initial dioxopyr-
role. Reactions of other monocyclic 1H-pyrrole-2,3-di-
ones with 3-amino-1H-inden-1-ones were not reported
so far. By reaction of methyl 3-aroyl-1-aryl-4,5-dioxo-
