4- Amino-3-iodoquinoline

As part of their study on gastric (H+/K+)-ATPase inhibitors, Kang et al. developed a simple and convenient synthetic approach to 1,2,3-trisubstituted pyrrolo[3,2-c]quinolines by means of Pd-catalyzed heteroannulation of 4-amino-3-iodoquinoline derivatives with internal alkynes [76]. The following scheme shows an example of a reaction using 4-arylamino-3-iodoquinoline derivative 180 with alkyne 181 to provide 1-arylpyrrolo [3,2-c]quinoline 182, illustrating the possibility of introducing diverse substituents to 1-arylpyrrolo[3,2-c]quinolines. In addition, a Pd-catalyzed domino hydroarylation/ cyclization process was reported to form substituted quinolines [77]. Thus, 3-arylquino-lines were prepared in 56-74% yield when 3,3-diethyl-l-phenyl-1-propyne and aryl iodide were refluxed in ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [(bmim)BF4 ],in the presence of HCO2H, EtjN, and palladium catalyst.
