The synthesis of 4-methyl pyrido [3, 2-e] pyrrolo [1, 2-a] pyrazines was described. The starting material, 2-amino-4-methyl-3-nitropyridine, was converted into pyrrolyl derivative by using 2, 5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran in glacial acetic aicd. Subsequent cyclization of the latter afforded the title compounds. The proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the products was also studied.
