“…[9][10][11][12] Previous studies also revealed that reaction of 1 with 2-, 3-, or 4-aminopyridine (10) afforded corresponding pyridin-2-, 3-, or 4-yl carbamic acid 4-nitrophenyl ester (11). 7,8 While reaction of 1 or 3,4,5-trichlorophenyl chloroformate with di-2-pyridylmethanol (12) resulted in the formation of 5-(2′-pyridyl)pyrido [1,2-c]oxazol-2-one (13) via N-acylation followed by intramolecular cyclization. 13 On the other hand, Devraj et al 14 reported that reaction of naturally occurring anticancer ellipticine (14) with 1 followed by in situ reduction of the Nacylated intermediate gave 2-acyl-1,2-dihydroellipticine (15).…”
