Intramolecular nitrilimine cycloadditions gave new pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyrrolizines 50 <04H(63)1423>. The syntheses of 5-substituted ethyl 3-oxo-2/7-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridlne-7-carboxylates 51 <04H(63)609> and 5//-pyrazolo[4,3-c]quinolines 52 <04H(63)1883> have been described. Ring-closure reactions of 3-arylhydrazonoalkyl-quinolin-2-ones gave rise to 1-aryl-pyrazolo[4,3-c]quinolin-2-ones <04JHC681>.

Nitroquinoline 209 enters into a direct cyclocondensation with aromatic hydra-zones in NaOH/DMF giving pyrazolo[3,4-/]quinolines 210 and (or) triazino[6,5-/ quinolines 211 in low to moderate yield (Scheme 62) (OOOL413). Their ratio mainly depends on the structure of the starting hydrazone. For example, electron-donating substituents in its aryl moiety assist triazine ring closure. Evidently, pyrazoles 210 are products of two consecutive SNH and SN ipso reactions, whereas conversion of 209 into 211 looks rather complicated and better corresponds with cascade hetero-cyclizations considered in Section III.D.l. 

Thermal cyclization was also the route employed to prepare 9-hydroxy-7-methyl-l/f-pyrazolo[3,4-/]quinoline (74) from the 6-aminoindazole/ethyl acetoacetate condensation adduct shown in Equation (41) <92JMC4595>. The hydroxyl substituent of compound (74) was then converted (POCl3, DMF) to a chloro, which in turn was displaced by treatment with aryl amines to give tricyclics with potent in vivo immunostimulatory activity like that noted for regioisomeric l//-imidazo[4,5-/]quinolines but unlike the inactive pyrazolo[4,3-/]quinolines. Although it was noted with some interest that none of the linear tricyclic isomer had been isolated, this finding actually parallels that reported earlier for the similar condensation of 1- and (V(6)-alkyl and unsubstituted 6-amino-indazoles with diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate <83JHC1351>. 

A microwave-assisted three-component coupling reaction of 5-amino-3-phenyl-pyrazole, a cychc 1,3-dicarbonyl compound and an aromatic aldehyde has been described by Chebanov and co-workers [121]. Depending on the apphed reaction conditions a series of 4-aryl-3-phenyl-l,4,6,7,8,9-hexahydro-l// pyrazolo[3,4-h] quinolin-5-ones 80, 9-p-tolyl-6,6-dimethyl-2-phenyl 5,6,7,9-tetrahydro-pyrazolo [5,l-h]quinazolin-8-ones 81, or 4-aryl-5a-hydroxy-4,5,5a,6,7,8-hexahydropyra-zolo[4,3-c]quinolizin-9-ones 82 can be formed (Scheme 61). 

Pyrazolo[3,4-Z)]pyridines, the 7-chloro-6-fluoro-2,4-dimethylquinoline and its mercapto-thiadiazolyl or oxadiazolyl quinolines 21 were prepared via Diels-Alder reaction conversion of methyl 2-(3-oxo-3-phenylpropenylamino)benzoate into 3-benzoyl-l.S -quinolin-4-one 22 . A mixture of aniline derivatives and malonic ester gave a variety of 3-aryl-4-hydroxyquinolin-2(l//)-ones 23. Condensation of isatins with ketones afforded quinoline-4-carboxylic acids. 2-Aryl-l,2,3,4-tetrahydro-4-quinolinones 22 and carbazolylquinolone were also prepared. The substitution of 2-chloroquinoline gave the 2-substituted quinolines. Basic alumina has catalyzed the C-C bond formation between 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone and 2-chloroquinoline derivative to give 21. Reaction of organic halides with 8-hydroxyquinolines gave the respective ethers. The azodye derivatives of 21 were prepared in the absence of solvent. Silica gel catalyzed the formation of 2-ketomethylquinolines from reaction of 2-methylquinolines with acyl chlorides. 

Cyclocondensation takes place on reacting 6-nitroquinoline with substituted hydrazones 69 (Scheme 34) in the presence of NaH in DMF, thus giving rise to 3-aryl-l(3)H-pyrazolo[3,4-f]quinolines 70 and/or 3-aryl[1.2.4]triazino[6,5-f] quinolines 71 [63, 64]. Yields are varied from low to moderate, while the direction of the reaction depends mainly on the structure of hydrazones electron-donating groups in the benzene ring of hydrazones favor the triazine ring formation.
