Synthesis of 4-Alkoxyquinolines from Quinoline Reissert Compounds
摘要:
The quinoline Reissert compound (5a) was converted to 1-benzoyl-3-bromo-2-cyano-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydro-4-methoxyquinoline (6a) by successive treatment in methanol with bromine and aq. sodium carbonate. Hydrolysis of 6a with hydrochrolic acid gave 3-bromoquinoline (4; R = H), but that with aq. sodium hydroxide afforded 4-methoxyquinoline (7a). Reissert compounds derived from some quinoline derivatives (5) gave the corresponding 4-methoxyquinolines (7) through tetrahydroquinolines (6) in a similar way.
