Abstract

An efficient and simple synthesis of spiro[11H-benzo[g]pyrazolo[4,3-b]quinoline-11,3′-[3H]indole]-2′,5,10(1′H)-triones and spiro[acenaphthylene-1(2H),11′-[11H]benzo[g]pyrazolo[4,3-b]quinoline]-2,5′,10′-triones by a three-component condensation reaction of 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone, pyrazol-5-amines, and isatins or acenaphthylene-1,2-dione in the presence of p-TSA as an inexpensive and available catalyst in refluxing ethanol is reported.
