Abstract

Interaction of deprotonated malonic esters with 7-chloro-8-nitro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylate (1) gave the respective 7-[bis(alkoxycarbonyl)methyl] derivatives (2, 3) which were converted into the corresponding 7-(carboxymethyl)-8-nitro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (4). Reductive lactamization of the latter furnished the target tetrahydro-2,6-dioxo-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-h]quinoline-7-carboxylic acid (5). Both compounds 4 and 5 exhibited broad spectrum of high antibacterial activity against representatives of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria classes, but were less potent than the reference ciprofloxacin.
