An environmentally benign, practically scalable and highly selective C-arylalkylation of active methylene compounds is developed using CTAB as the inverse phase transfer catalyst in water. The methodology developed is elaborated into the one-pot synthesis of quinoline derivatives and also applicable to the regioselective N-aralkyl of 2-pyridones.
The invention provides compounds of Formula I and Formula II: A-B-C-D-E-F-G-J (I) C-D-E-F-G-J (II) wherein A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and J have any of the values defined in the specification, and salts thereof. The compounds are useful for inhibiting plasma kallikrein, and for treating a disease or condition in an animal where inhibition of plasma kallikrein is indicated.
A specific N-alkylation of 2-hydroxypyridines is achieved by reacting with organohalides under catalyst- and base-free conditions. The observed HX-facilitated conversion of pyridyl ether intermediates to 2-pyridone products may account for the success and specific N-alkylation of the reaction under the unexpectedly simple conditions. This new reaction may provide a useful alternative for the synthesis of 2-pyridones and analogous structures because of its >99% N-selectivity, relatively broad scopes of both substrates, and no mandatory use of catalysts and bases.
