RESUMO
The 2- and 6-methoxy derivatives of 8-aminoquinoline, as well as 5-aminoisoquinoline, condensed with 2-ethoxycarbonylcyclopentanone to give tricyclic intermediates in 86-90% yield. These secosteroids were cyclized in 35-69% yield with polyphosphoric acid to 2-methoxy-1,11-diaza-, 7-methoxy-1,11-diaza-, and 3,11-diaza-1,3,5,7,9,13-gonahexaen-12-ones, respectively. The latter exhibits slight antileukemic activity.

Contrary to previous reports, the condensation product of 8-aminoquinoline (1) and 2-carbethoxycyclopentanone (2) undergoes ring closure with polyphosphoric acid to give the 1, 11-diazasteroid 5. Catalytic hydrogenation reduced the A ring and the double bond to produce 6. 8-Aminotetrahydroquinoline (7) and 3-carbethoxy-2-piperidone condense to a tricyclic intermediate (11), which could not be cyclized to a steroid, however.
