Coupling, organometallic palladium catalyzed, with

In summary, palladium-mediated reactions, especially cross-coupling reactions have found many applications in quinoline synthesis. It is noteworthy that due to the a and S activation for the C(2) and C(4) positions, even 2-chloro- and 4-chloro-quinolines are viable substrates for palladium-catalyzed reactions under standard conditions. With the advent of the palladium chemistry and more commercially available organometallic substrates, more palladium-mediated quinoline syntheses are to be added to the repertoire of quinoline chemistry.

Scheme 8.10. Palladium-Catalyzed Cross Coupling of Organometallic Reagents with...

A molybdenum-mediated oxidative coupling of aniline 1 with cyclohexene 2a provides carbazole 3. Alternatively, the same overall transformation of aniline 1 to carbazole 3 is achieved by iron-mediated oxidative coupling with cyclo-hexa-1,3-diene 2b or by palladium-catalyzed oxidative coupling with arenes 2c. The use of appropriately substituted anilines and unsaturated six-membered hydrocarbons opens up the way to highly convergent organometallic syntheses of carbazole alkaloids.
