Grignard reactions of pyridine-2,3-dicarboximides involve attack at the carbonyl group closer to the pyridine nitrogen atom to give 7-hydroxypyrrolopyridin-5(7H)-one derivatives.Reduction of the same imides with sodium borohydride gives mixtures of regiosomeric hydroxy lactams, in which the 7-hydroxypyrrolopyridin-5-ones are the major components.Hydroxy lactams derived by either of these two methods from pyridine-2,3-dicarboximides containing N-benzyl, N-2-phenylethyl, N-2-(indol-3-yl)ethyl, or N-biphenyl-2-yl substituents are cyclised by heating in trifluoroacetic or polyphosphoric acid to give derivatives of new pyridopyrrolo-fused heterocyclic systems.
