alcohols, benzaldehydes, and DMSO to quinolines has been disclosed. For the reported annulation between 2-aminobenzyl alcohols and benzaldehydes, the change of the solvent from toluene to DMSO led to the change of the product from the diheteroatomic cyclic benzoxazines to monoheteroatomic cyclic quinolines. This annulation can be used to synthesize regioselectively different substituted quinolines
[3+1+1+1] Annulation to the Pyridine Structure in Quinoline Molecules Based on DMSO as a Nonadjacent Dual-Methine Synthon: Simple Synthesis of 3-Arylquinolines from Arylaldehydes, Arylamines, and DMSO
A [3+1+1+1] annulation of arylamines, arylaldehydes, and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to the pyridine structure in quinolines using DMSO as a nonadjacent dual-methine (═CH−) synthon is disclosed. In this annulation, arylamines provide two carbon atoms and one nitrogen atom, arylaldehydes furnish one carbon atom, and DMSO provides two nonadjacent methines (═CH−) to the pyridine ring in quinoline molecules
The site-selective C8-alkylation of quinolines has been accomplished using cyclopropyl alcohols as the alkylating agents and N-oxide as a weak chelating group in the presence of Co(III) catalysis via merging C–H/C–C bond activation. The use of cyclopropanol as the alkyl source, Co catalysis, substrate scope, HRMS analysis of the reaction intermediate, and late-stage mutation of drug molecules/natural
A new approach for the regioselective functionalization of the C-3-position of quinolines is described. The method utilizes heteroatom guided regioselective C-3 palladation followed by arylation via transmetalation with aryl boronic acids to yield 3-aryl-N-acyl-1,2-dihydroquinolines. In a one-pot sequence, N-deacylation followed by aromatization leads to important 3-arylquinolines in good yields.
