Fused tetracycles, 6‐alkyl‐3‐alkoxy‐2‐cyano‐4,5,6a,11‐tetraazabenzo[a]fluorene derivatives (5a,b,c,d,e,f), are synthesized from 2‐alkoxy‐5‐(benzimidazol‐2‐ylidene)‐3‐cyano‐6‐imino‐5,6‐dihydro‐pyridines (4b,c), and when refluxed in ethyl orthoacetate or ethyl orthopropionate, the elecrophilic aromatic substitution occurs at the ortho position of the cyanopyridine ring in the fused tetracycles (5b,c,e,f) to afford 6‐alkyl‐3‐alkoxy‐2‐cyano‐1‐ethyl‐4,5,6a,11‐tetraazabenzo[a]fluorenes(6b,c,e,f).
