“…and contained structural features of the alkaloid nitramine (2) [2,3], which is found in the aerial part of Nitraria sibirica Pall. The goal of the present work was to develop a preparative synthesis of new biologically active salts of spiro-derivatives of benzo[f]quinoline 1a and b with several natural carboxylic acids 3 (ketopinic, 10-camphorsulfonic, 3-exoisocamphanonesulfonic, abietic, benzoic, L-alanine, L-valine, L-leucine, L-isoleucine, nicotinic, succinic, 4,4′-biphenyldicarboxylic, and 2-hydroxy-4,4′-biphenyldicarboxylic).…”
