Abstract:Indigo malonic ester (I), the product of indigo condensation with malonic ester, a representative of the class of 6,13-dioxopyrido[1,2-a;3,4-b]diindoles, has been known since the beginning of the previous century; it has been fi rst obtained in 1926 alongside the product of indigo condensation with phenylacetic acid and its N-acyl derivatives [1]. The chemical properties of these compounds were not practically further examined. Yet the pyrido[1,2-a;3,4-b]diindole system is the structural skeleton of a series o… Show more
