Synthesis of Pyrazoloquinolines as Gastric <TEX>$H^+/K^+$</TEX>-ATPase Inhibitors

A series of 1-aryl-lH-pyrazolo[4,3-c]quinolines and 2-aryl-2H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]quinolines are prepared by reacting 3-acyl-4-chloroquinolines in ethanol or 3-acyl-4(lH)-quinolone in acetic acid with appropriate hydrazines as possible anti-ulcer agents. A regiospecific synthesis of 1-aryl-lH-pyrazolo[4,3-c]quinolines is also achieved. The central pyridine ring could be easily reduced by catalytic hydrogenation.
