Condensation of a tricyclic phenoxazin‐2‐amino‐3‐one (a model for the actinomycin D ring system) with acetaldehyde or benzaldehyde or with pyruvic acid as an acetaldehyde precursor gave tetracyclic 5 H ‐oxazolo[4,5‐ b ]phenoxazines. The pyruvic acid reaction proceeds efficiently in one step. The latter compounds were oxidized in a novel reaction by 2,3‐dichloro‐5,6‐dicyano‐benzoquinone exclusively at position 8 in the benzenoid ring. Uv, ir, nmr, and mass spectrometric data are reported.
