Abstract

Reactions of ortho-substituted anilines and arylglyoxylic acids in DMSO at 40°C provide various benzo-fused five- to six-membered N-heterocycles in very good yields. The reaction proceeds via intramolecular Michael addition of α-iminocarboxylic acids, generated in situ, with an ortho-substituted nucleophile, followed by decarboxylation forms the N-heterocycles.
