The sulfuric acid catalyzed acylation of 2-methyl-5-nitroisocarbostyril with carboxylic acid anhydrides gave the corresponding 4-acylated derivatives 3, which underwent reductive cyclization to 2-substituted derivatives of 4-methyl-1,3,4,5-tetrahydropyrrolo[4.3.2.de]isoquinolin-5-one (4). Alkaline hydrolysis of the six-membered lactam in 4 was accompanied by a retro-Mannich reaction to produce 2-substituted indole-4-carboxylic acids in about 40 % overall yield from 3.

The preparation and alkaline hydrolysis of 18O-methyl 2,2-dimethylpropanoate and 18O-methyl triphenylacetate are reported. From mass spectral analysis of the carboxylic acid products, it is concluded that the former substrate is hydrolyzed exclusively by the BAC2 mechanism, whereas the latter substrate proceeds 95% by the BAC2 mechanism and 5% by the BAL2 mechanism. The balance between these two mechanisms is discussed.
