Abstract

Target 10-cyclopropyl-7-fluoro-1-hydroxy-6-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)acridin-9(10H)-one (IVc) and 7-fluoro-1-hydroxy-6-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-9H-xanthen-9-one (IVd) were obtained from corresponding difluoro derivatives IVa and IVb, respectively. These intermediates were synthesized via respective 3,4-dihydro-1,9(2H)-diones Va and Vb. Acridine derivative (10-cyclopropyl-6,7-difluoro-3,4-dihydro-1H-acridine-1,9(2H,10H)-dione, Va) was synthesized from 1-cyclopropyl-6,7-difluoroisatoic anhydride (XI) and xanthene derivative (6,7-difluoro-3,4-dihydro-1H-xanthen-1,9(2H)-dione, Vb) from cyclohexenone derivative VIb. Several unsuccessful attempts to prepare hydroxyacridone IVc and/or some useful intermediates of its synthesis are also described.
