C–C bond formation at C-2 of a quinoline ring: Synthesis of 2-(1H-indol-3-yl)quinoline-3-carbonitrile derivatives as a new class of PDE4 inhibitors
摘要:
A number of 2-(1H-indol-3-yl) quinoline-3-carbonitrile derivatives were synthesized via AlCl3-mediated C-C bond forming reaction between 2-chloroquinoline-3-carbonitrile and various indoles. The methodology does not require any N-protection of the indoles employed and provided the corresponding products in good yields. The molecular structure of a representative compound was established unambiguously by single crystal X-ray diffraction and structural elaboration of a compound synthesized has been demonstrated. Many of these compounds synthesized showed PDE4 inhibitory properties in vitro. A brief structure-activity relationship studies within the series along with docking results of a representative compound (EC50 similar to 0.89 mu M) is presented. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Metal‐Free TFA‐Promoted Regioselective (Hetero)Arylation: Synthesis of (Hetero)Aryl Substituted and Carbazole/Oxepine Fused
<i>N</i>
‐Heterocycles
Metal-free TFA promoted arylation/heteroarylation was achieved under mild conditions via the reaction of chloro-derivatives of nitrogen heterocycles [e. g., =C−C(Cl)=N−] with electronrich arenes/heteroarenes. It was also observed that apart from participating in the heteroarylation step, TFA was able to facilitate the hydroarylation/o-arylation process in the same pot affording the carbazole/oxepine
