Starting from a tricyclic diketone (14) obtained by Bowman's method, a tetracyclic oxonaphthalene derivative (17) has been prepared through intramolecular aldol condensation followed by indole → naphthalene isomerization. An unexpected formation of a lact

Two attempts to synthesise the tricyclic α-keto-amide (6) are described.In the first, 1,2,3,4-tetradihydro-2-methylaminonaphthalen-1-one (3) was allowed to react with pyridine-hydroxymaleic anhydride at -20 deg C and then at room temperature to give a complex mixture from which the naphth-1,4-oxazinone (14), 2-pyruvamido-1-tetralone (16; R=Ac) contaminated with the oxazinone (14) and the phenolic acid (13c) were isolated.A tetracyclic oxazinone was also obtained from the appropriate methylaminotetrahydroacenaphthenone but not from the corresponiding benzindolone (7; R=NHMe.HCl).In the second, the N-methyldione (10) was converted in three stages into the tricyclic acid (13c) which proved unexpectedly stable.However, its triethylamine salt lost carbon dioxide at 140 deg C to give not the required keto-amide (6) but the isomeric hydroxybenzquinolone (13d).Both the oxazinone (14) and the impure pyruvamido-ketone (16; R=Ac) were converted within seconds by treatment with 2 M-sodium hydroxide into the sparingly soluble sodium salt of the phenol (13d) as was the pure pyruvamido ketone whose synthesis is described.
