pyrrolo[3,2,1ꢀij]quinoline (11b). Perchlorate 6b (0.5 mmol) was
added to a solution of MeONa in methanol (prepared from Na
metal (7.4 mmol) and anhydrous MeOH (10 mL)). The reaction
mixture was left for 16 h. The precipitate that formed was filꢀ
tered off and recrystallized from acetonitrile. The yield of comꢀ
pound 11b was 0.10 g (62%), m.p. 183—185 °C. Found (%):
N, 8.50. C19H18N2O3. Calculated (%): N, 8.69. 1H NMR
(CDCl3), δ: 8.23, 7.72 (both m, 2 H each, ArH); 7.48 (s,
1 H, H(3)); 5.56 (s, 1 H, H(6)); 4.02 (s, 3 H, OCH3); 3.02,
2.77 (both m, 2 H each, CH2); 2.19 (s, 3 H, CH3); 2.05
(m, 2 H, CH2).
2ꢀMethoxyꢀ4ꢀmethylꢀ5,6,7,8ꢀtetrahydroquinoline (8). A mixꢀ
ture of 4ꢀmethylꢀ5,6,7,8ꢀtetrahydroquinolinꢀ2ꢀone (7)
(57 mmol), CH3I (72 mmol), and freshly prepared and well
dried Ag2CO3 (28.5 mmol) in 90 mL of benzene was refluxed for
50 to 60 h in a lightꢀprotected flask. The precipitate was filtered
off, the solvent was removed from the mother liquor, and the
residue was distilled in vacuo while collecting a fraction with
b.p. 147 °C (20 Torr). The yield of compound 8 was 3.8 g (38%),
m.p. 40—41 °C (cf. Ref. 6: m.p. 35—40 °C).
4ꢀMethylꢀ1ꢀ(4ꢀnitrophenacyl)ꢀ5,6,7,8ꢀtetrahydroquinolinꢀ2ꢀ
one (9b). A solution of compound 8 (25 mmol) and 4ꢀnitroꢀ
phenacyl bromide (20 mmol) in 40 mL of MeCN was refluxed
for 40 h. The precipitate was filtered off and recrystallized from
acetonitrile. The yield of compound 9b was 3.56 g (55%), m.p.
194—196 °C. Found (%): N, 5.50. C18H18N2O4. Calculated (%):

N, 5.56. H NMR (DMSOꢀd6), δ: 8.33 (m, 4 H, ArH); 6.14 (s,
1 H, H(3)); 5.52 (s, 2 H, NCH2); 2.47 (m, 4 H, CH2); 2.12 (s,
3 H, CH3); 1.74 (m, 4 H, CH2).

5ꢀMethylꢀ2ꢀ(4ꢀnitrophenyl)ꢀ6,7,8,9ꢀtetrahydrooxazoꢀ
lo[3,2ꢀa]quinolinium perchlorate (6b). Compound 9b (5 mmol)
was carefully dissolved in 30 mL of conc. H2SO4 and left at
room temperature for 16 h. The mixture was carefully poured
into 300 mL of water and allowed to cool. Then 70% HClO4
(15 mL) was added dropwise. The precipitate was filtered off,
washed with water to a neutral reaction, and dried. The yield of
compound 6b was 1.93 g (95%), m.p. 283—285 °C. Found (%):
N, 6.75. C18H17N2O3•ClO4. Calculated (%): N, 6.85. 1H NMR
(DMSOꢀd6), δ: 9.62 (s, 1 H, H(1)); 8.50, 8.28 (both m, 2 H each,
ArH); 8.23 (s, 1 H, H(4)); 3.13, 2.82 (both m, 2 H each, CH2);
2.60 (s, 3 H, CH3); 1.90, 1.99 (both m, 2 H each, CH2).
Recyclization of salts 6 in the presence of secondary amines
(general procedure). A secondary amine (1 mL, ~20ꢀfold excess)
was added to a solution of perchlorate 6 (0.5 mmol) in 10 mL of
acetonitrile. The mixture was refluxed to give a crimson soluꢀ
tion, which rapidly turned greenish yellow. The resulting soluꢀ
tion was poured into water. The precipitate was filtered off,
dried, and recrystallized from acetonitrile.

pyrrolo[3,2,1ꢀij]quinoline (10a) was obtained from perchlorate
6a and piperidine. The reaction duration was 2 min. The yield of
compound 10a was 98%, m.p. 138—139 °C (yellow prismatic
crystals). Xꢀray diffraction data are shown in Fig. 1. Found (%):
