Reaction of 4-alkylamino-2-chloroquinoline-3-carbonitriles 4a-e with an equimolecular amount of ethyl mercaptoacetate gave, in each case, the corresponding ethyl 4-alkylamino-3-aminothiono[2,3-b]quinoline-2-carboxylates 7a-e. Diazotization of 7a-e afforded the novel tetracyclic ring system ethyl 1-alkyl-1H-5-thia-1,2,3,6-tetraazaacephenanthrylene-4-carboxylates 8a-e. Refluxing 7a-e with an excess of triethyl orthoformate yields the new ethyl 1-alkyl-1H-5-thia-1,3,6-triazaacephenanthrylene-4-carboxylates 9a-e. Reacting 9b, c, as example, with an excess of cyclohexylamine (2a) in boiling DMF furnished the corresponding amides 10a, b in good yields.
