Mixed aldol condensation of l -oxo-l,2,3,4-tetrahydrocarbazolc ] with I-naphthaldehyde yields 2-naphthylidene- l -oxo-1,2 ,3,4-tetrahydrocarbazole 2 which on treatment with hydrazine hydrate affords 4,S .. di hydro-3 -( 1'-naphthyl )-2H-pyrazolino[3,4 -a lcarbazolc 3 and 3-( l'-naphthyl) isoxazolof3,4-a ]carbazole 4 respcctively. A plausib le mechani sm for its fo rmation has been proposed.
Carbazol e alka loids have attracted much interest as ~ylllhetic targels since many of their derivatives ex hibit wide range of potent ial biological acti vities 1.4.
These components are considered to represent potential therapeut ic agents against a variety of diseases in itiated by oxygen deri ved free radicals like myocardial and cerebral schema, arteriosclerosis, inllammallon, rheumatism, senility, cancer and autoimmune diseases5
-7. Although a large number of reports8
.12 are
available in literature describing the synthetic methods directed towards e llipticine, olivacine and related tetracyclic compounds, the replacement of the pyridine ring in the natural structure by other heteroaromatic systems has been reported in scant l.l·16. Based on the above said fac ts and using the reacti vity of 1-oxo- I.2.3.4-tetrahydrocarbazole, we have buil t up pvrazolino an nelated ri ngs on the carbazole moiety.
In achieving o ll r target 1-oxo-l.2,\4-tetrahydrocarbazole was opted as a precursor. Mi xed aldol reaction 17 of 6-methyl- I-oxo-I,2,3,4-tetrahydrocarbazole la with I-naphthaldehyde under basic condit ion gave 6-methyl-2-naphthylidene-l-oxo- 1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocarbazole 2a, the structure of 2a was establi shed on the bas is of elemental analysis and spectral data. The IR spectrum exhibited a sharp and strong absorption band at 1645 cm·1 characteristic of ex, ~unsaturated carbonyl group and a band at 3250 cm·1
ascribable to NH group. The disappearance of C2 proton signal and appearance of naphthyllic proton signal as a singlet at 8 8.28 in its IH-NMR spectrum proved
mixed aldol reaction of la with naphthaldehyde to give 2a. The protons C3 and C4 resonated as multiplets at 8 3.05 and 8 3.12 while that of methyl group and carbazole NH as a singlet at 8 2.45 and as a broad singlet at 8 8.94 respectively. Further it exhibited a multiplet at 8 7 .22-8.05 which was accounted as resonance of ten aromatic protons. The elemental analysis was compatible with the molecular formul a C24HI9NO. A series of similar compounds were realized with lb, Ie, ld and Ie (Scheme I and Table I).
When 2a was treated with hydrazine hydrate in ethanol it afforded the expected 7-methyl-4,5-dihydro-3-naphthyl-2H-pyrazolino[3,4-a]carbazole 3a in 78% yield. Its IR spectrum revealed the formation of C=N (1622 cm· l
) thereby indicating the absence of carbonyl absorption . The IH-NMR spectrum of 3a in
CDCh showed multiplets at 8 2.34, 8 2.75 . 8 3.0 I . b 3.44 which were assignable to C4, C3a, Cs and C3 protons respectively , a broad doublet at 8 5.28 accountable for the pyrazoline-N-H proton. the 10 aromatic protons resonated between 8 7.06 - 7.90 a<; a mult i
plet. Carbazole NH appeared as a broad sin glet at (5
8.84. Further the elemental anaiysis agreed weil Wllh
the moiecular formula C24H21N3. On the basis of the aforesaid data, the product was establ ised as 7-meth yl -4,5-di hydro-3-naphthy 1-2H -pyrazol i nof3,4-a Jcarbazole 3a. Extension of the above reaction to 2b, 2e, 2d and 2e yielded the correspondll1g pyrazo'lino[3,4-a]carbazole deri vatives 3b, 3e, 3d and 3e (Scheme I and Table II).
In another experiment 2a was treated with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in dry pyrid ine to yie ld a single product which was puri fied by column chromatography . The IR: spectrum recorded two absorptions at 3465 cm·1 and 1600 cm·1 which are asc ribable for - NH and -C=N stretch ing vibrat ions respectively . The 'H-NMR spectrum registered a three proton singlet at 8 2.18 for methyl group and a mul tipl et at 8 2.84 - 8 2.88 corresponding to C4 and Cs proton s, an aromatic cluster between 87.24 -8 8.06 for ten protons and a broad s inglet at 89.93 for the - H proton . The elemental analysis agreed well with the molecul ar formula C24H1 8N20. Based on the above mentioned spectral data the stucture of the product was assigned to be 7-methyl-3(l '-naphthyl)isoxa

The reaction mixture then poured into crushed ice, the resulting semi-solid separated was extracted with choroform,subsequently washed with dil.HCI and water. The combined organic layer were dried over anhyd. Na2S04 . Removal of solvent yielded the crude product which was purified by column chromatography using pet. ether -ethyl acetate as a solvent system over silica gel column. The product was recrystalised from the solvent system (Scheme I and Table III) . The mass fragmentation pattern of compound 4c is given in Scheme V.
