Abstract

Condensation of 5-nitroisatin (1) with cyclohexanone in the presence of alcoholic potassium hydroxide, unexpectedly, produced 7-amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroacridine-9-carboxylic acid (2) instead of 7-nitro derivative. The general nature of this reaction was shown by substituting several cyclic ketones in this reaction. A radical anion intermediate is proposed to explain this unusual noncatalytic reduction.
