Aromatic nucleophilic substitution reaction of N,N-dimethyl-2-methoxy-3-trifluoroacetyl-4-quinolylamine with various nucleophiles (NuH) such as amines, thiols, and alcohols proceeded chemoselectively at the 4-position to give the corresponding Me2N-Nu exchanged products. Novel fluorine-containing 6-methoxydibenzo[b,h][1,6]naphthyridines (11) and 6-methoxythiochromeno[3,2-c]quinolines (12) were synthesized in moderate to high yields by the trifluoromethanesulfonic acid catalyzed cyclization of thus obtained N-aryl-2-methoxy-3-trifluoroacetyl-4-quinolylamines (8) and aryl 2-methoxy-3-trifluoroacetyl-4-quinolyl sulfides (9), respectively.
Unexpected Highly Chemoselective Nucleophilic Substitution Reaction of 4-Dimethylamino-2-methoxy-3-trifluoroacetylquinoline with Various Nucleophiles
摘要:
Aromatic nucleophilic substitution reaction of 4-dimethylamino-2-methoxy-3-trifluoroacetylquinoline with various nucleophiles (NuH) such as amines, thiols, and alcohols proceeded chemoselectively to give the corresponding Me2N-Nu exchanged products, 2-methoxy-3-trifluoroacetyl-4-quinolylamines, sulfides, and ethers without any formation of MeO-Nu exchanged products in spite of the common knowledge that alkoxy group is the better leaving group than amino group.
