Reactions of 2,3-dioxopyrrolo[2,1-<i>a</i>]isoquinolines with sodium borohydride and the properties of its products

Abstract

The reaction of 2,3-dioxopyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines with sodium borohydride, depending on the conditions under which it is carried out, can proceed by the route of hydrogenation or by the opening of the pyrrole ring. In the latter case, ketoesters, for which examples of reactions at the dicarbonyl and enamine fragments are presented, are formed.
