9H-Indenopyridine-1(2H),9-dione, prepared by a new efficient route, reacts with 3,4-dimethoxyphenyllithium to form the keto alcohol (7), which rearranges with hydrazoic acid to form 5-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)benznaphthyridin-4(3H)-one.The N-oxide photolyses smoothly to yield dehydroperloline as the sole product.
