Regioselective synthesis of new 7,8-dichlorobenzofuro[3,2-c]quinoline-6,9,10(5H)-triones from reactions of 4-hydroxy-2-quinolones with 3,4,5,6-tetrachloro-1,2-benzoquinone:

A novel series of 7,8-dichlorobenzofuro[3,2-c]quinoline-6,9,10(5H)-triones was obtained regioselectively in good yields. The products were formed by the reactions of the 4-hydroxy-2(1H)-quinolinone...
