Abstract: Oxidative hydroxylation of pyrido[3,2,1-jk]carbazol-6-ones by hydrogen peroxide, peroxy carboxylic acids or nitric acid leads to 5-hydroxypyrido[3,2,1-jk]carbazole-4,6-diones, which give in alkaline solution ring contraction to oxindoles, dioxindoles and ring opening reactions to carbazolyl-hydroxyphenylpropanones depending on the reaction conditions and substituents at position 5. Wittig olefination of 5-hydroxypyrido[3,2,1-jk]carbazole-4,6-diones gives [2-(3-alkyl-3-hydroxy-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinolinylidene)]-acetates.
