Abstract

1,5-Diones Ib - Ie were converted to spirocyclic 1,4-dihydropyridines IIb - IIe by treatment with methanolic methylamine. The starting diketones Ib - Ie were obtained from corresponding acetophenones 4-X-C6H4COMe and fluorenone with sodium amide except of If where only ketone III and 1,4-dione IV were isolated. Molecular spectra (UV-VIS, NMR, IR and MS) of compounds Ib - Ie, IIa - IIe, III, and IV were assigned and interpreted.
