A series of aza-naphthindolizinedione derivatives, such as indolizinoquinolinedione derivatives, indolizinophthalazinedione derivatives and indolizinoquinoxalinedione derivatives were designed and synthesized. The synthetic pathway was also proposed.
A rapid and efficient method was established for the synthesis of indoloquinolinone and its analogues using acid-promoted cyclization in the present of PPA. All the reactions were completed in good yields in lOmin under microwave irradiation.
