“…The reaction of azines (phenanthridine 1 , isoquinoline 5 , or quinoline 9 ) with acetylenic esters 2 , 6 , or 10 as a Michael acceptor was undertaken in the presence of heterocyclic NH compounds (benzotriazole, 2‐methylbenzimidazole, maleimide, indole, 2‐methyl indole, 2‐benzoxazolinone, and 6‐chlorobenzoxazo‐linone) or 1,3‐dicarbonyl compound such as 5,5‐dimethyl‐1,3‐cyclohexadione at RT. Reactions were carried out by first mixing the phenanthridine, quinoline, or isoquinoline and heterocyclic NH or 1,3‐dicarbonyl compounds, and then, the acetylenic ester was added slowly.…”
