Abstract
1H-Pyrrolo[2′,3′:4,5]furo[3,2-c]pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (6a) and its 1-methyl (6b) and 1-benzyl (6c) derivatives were synthesized. 3-(5-Methoxycarbonyl-4H-furo[3,2-b]-pyrrole-2-yl)propenoic acid (1) was converted to the corresponding azide 2, which in turn was cyclized to give 3 by heating in diphenylether. The pyridone 3 obtained was aromatized with phosphorus oxychloride, then reduced with zinc in acetic acid to give methyl 1H-pyrrolo[2′,3′:4,5]furo[3,2-c]pyridine-2-carboxylate (5), which by hydrolysis gave the corresponding carboxylic acid 6a.
