Substituted 8-Methoxyquinolines: Regioselective Bromination, Coupling Reactions and Cyclization to an 11H-Indolo[3,2-C]quinoline
摘要:
5,7-Disubstituted 8-methoxyquinolines were brominated at C-3 position. The palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of obtained 3-bromoquinolines with phenylboric acids gave corresponding 3-arylquinolines from which a substituted 11H-indolo[3,2-c]quinoline could be synthesized.
Synthesis of Substituted 8-Methoxyquinolines by Regioselective Bromine-Lithium Exchange of 5,7-Dihalo-8-methoxyquinolines and 7-Bromo-8-methoxyquinoline
Reaction of phenyllithium with 7-bromo-8-methoxyquinoline, 5,7-dibromo-8-methoxyquinoline and 5,7-diiodo-8-metehoxyquinoline has been studied. Thus, bromine-lithium exchange of 7-bromo-8-methoxyquinoline gave the 7-lithio-8-methoxyquinoline which reacted with various electrophiles to afford 7-substituted-8-methoxyquinolines 3a-e. The same procedure was also applied to 5,7-dibromo-8-methoxyquinoline, which because of the high regioselectivity of the reaction, led to 7-substituted 5-bromo-8-methoxyquinolines 4a-f; one of them was used for the preparation of a pyridopyranoquinoline.
