Pyrido pyrazine-7-carboxylates 8-hydroxy

Cyclocondensation of pipecolinic acid and malic acid anhydride in pyridine afforded 3-hydroxy-2,3-dimethylperhydropyrido[l,2-a]pyrazine-l, 4-dione (74CB2804). Cyclocondensation of bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl) mal-onates with 2-methyl-, 2-benzyl- and 2-ethoxycarbonylmethylquinoxalines and -3-ones at 250°C afforded 8-hydroxy-10//-pyrido[l,2-a]quinoxalin-10-ones and their 5,6-dihydro-6,10-dione derivatives (77M103). Under Horner-Wittig reaction conditions, the reactions of 2-formylquinoxaline and dialkyl phosphonosuccinates (314) also involved cyclization to give alkyl 10-oxo-10//-pyrido[l,2-a]quinoxahne-8-carboxylate (80LA542).
