A Concise Synthesis of Fluorine-Containing Benzo[h]quinolines and Benzo[h]quinolones by Selective Pyridine and Pyridinone Rings Formation Reactions of N-Propargyl-2,4-bis(trifluoroacetyl)-1-naphthylamine with Various Active Methylene Compounds
hthylamine (3) underwent nitrogen-containingheterocyclic ring-formation reactions with a variety of active methylene compounds in the presence of sodium alkoxides. This annulation reactions with dialkyl malonates were highly dependent on reaction temperature to give selectively the corresponding fluorine-containing benzo[h]quinolines (5) at high temperature and 1H-benzo[h]quinolin-2-ones (7 and 8)
