7-Nitropyridobenzimidazolium salts are cleaved with secondary amines to form 2-[(E,E)-4-aminobuta-1,3-dienyl]-1H-benzimidazoles. The latter react with dimethyl acetylene-dicarboxylate to yield 4a-[(E,Z,E)-6-amino-4,5- dimethoxycarbonylhexa-1,3,5-trien-1-yl]-1,2,3,4-tetra(methoxycarbonyl)-4a, 5-dihydropyrido[1,2-a]benzimidazoles. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media, Inc.
