Abstract

A new synthesis of substituted acridine-4-carboxylic acids 2 from methyl 2-[ N -(2-carboxyphenyl)amino]benzoates ( 4 ) is reported, via NaBH 4 reduction of the corresponding imidazolides ( 5 ), oxidation of the resulting alcohols 6 to aldehydes 7 , and cyclisation of these with trifluoroacetic acid to the methyl acridine-4-carboxylates ( 8 ), followed by base hydrolysis. Direct amidation of 8a provides a new route to the clinical anticancer drug DACA ( 3 ) which avoids use of the irritant acid 2a .
