Quinoline phenylation

The product is the isomer with the two phenyl groups cis to each other, since decarboxylation with quinoline-copper chromium oxide at 210-220° yields cis-stilbene. 

The name found its origin in the fact that the first dyes known were all derived from quinoline as, for example, 2,2 -cyanine (Scheme 1). In the case of an asymmetrical or symmetrical dye involving one or two nuclei that are different from the quinoline ring, the name of the nucleus becomes the prefix in the name of the dye. So 3.3 -dimethyl-4-phenyl thiazolo cyanine is the dye of structure 1 and 3.1 -dimethyl 4-phenyl thiazolo 2 -cyanine is represented by the formula structure 2 (Scheme 2). 

ISlew Synthetic Approaches. There have been a number of efforts to prepare quinolines by routes quite different from the traditional methods. In one, the cyclization of 3-ariiino-3-phenyl-2-alkerLiniines (18) using alkah metals leads to modest yields of various 4-arylaminoqurnolines (54). Because this stmcture is found in many natural products and few syntheses of it exist, the method merits further investigation.

Preparation of 8-Methyl-2-phenyl-quinoline-4-carboxylic acid (32)... 

On boiling the methiodide with 70% sulfuric acid an N-methyl-oxo derivative was obtained, and this in turn gave 3-amino-2-phenyl-quinoline, methylamine, and ammonia on fusion with soda lime. The bulk of the evidence therefore favors quaternization at N-2 (cf, 154), in which case the acid-hydrolysis product is 155. Quaternization at N-2 would be expected because of the steric influence of the 10-phenyl group and the influence of the 4-amino group (cf. 4-hydroxy-pyridazine ) in the pyridazine-type ring, although the partial double-bond character of that ring is probably different from that in pyridazine itself. 

Alteration of the relative reactivity of the ring-positions of quinoline is expected and observed when cyclic transition states can intervene. Quinoline plus phenylmagnesium bromide (Et20,150°, 3 hr) produces the 2-phenyl derivative (66% yield) phenyllithium gives predominantly the same product along with a little of the 4-phenylation product. Reaction of butyllithium (Et 0, —35°, 15 min) forms 2-butylquinoline directly in 94% yield. 2-Aryl- or 6-methoxy-quinolines give addition at the 2-position with aryllithium re-agents, and reaction there is so favored that appreciable substitution (35%) takes place at the 2-position even in the 4-chloroquinoline 414. Hydride reduction at the 2-position of quinoline predominates. Reaction of amide ion at the 2-position via a cyclic... 

The nitration of l,2,5-selenadiazolo[3,4-/] quinoline 77 with benzoyl nitrate affords the 8-nitro derivative 78, whereas methylation with methyl iodide or methyl sulfate afforded the corresponding 6-pyridinium methiodide 79 or methosulfate 80, respectively (Scheme 29). The pyridinium salt 80 was submitted to oxidation with potassium hexacyanoferrate and provided 7-oxo-6,7-dihydro derivative 81 or, by reaction of pyridinium salt 79 with phenylmagnesium bromide, the 7-phenyl-6,7-dihydro derivative 82. Nucleophilic substitution of the methiodide 79 with potassium cyanide resulted in the formation of 9-cyano-6,9-dihydroderivative 83, which can be oxidized by iodine to 9-cyano-l,2,5-selenadiazolo [3,4-/]quinoline methiodide 84. All the reactions proceeded in moderate yields (81IJC648). 

Absorption and emission spectra of six 2-substituted imidazo[4,5-/]quinolines (R = H, Me, CH2Ph, Ph, 2-Py, R = H CH2Ph, R = Ph) were studied in various solvents. These studies revealed a solvent-independent, substituent-dependent character of the title compounds. They also exhibited bathochromic shifts in acidic and basic solutions. The phenyl group in the 2-position is in complete conjugation with the imidazoquinoline moiety. The fluorescence spectra of the compounds exhibited a solvent dependency, and, on changing to polar solvents, bathochromic shifts occur. Anomalous bathochromic shifts in water, acidic solution, and a new emission band in methanol are attributed to the protonated imidazoquinoline in the excited state. Basic solutions quench fluorescence (87IJC187). 

Oxidation of 5-arylazo-6-aminoquinoline 146 with copper sulfate in pyridine gave the corresponding 2-aryltriazolo[4,5-/]quinolines 147. Condensation of halo-genated nitrobenzenes with triazolo[4,5-/]quinoline 145 yielded the appropriate 2H- and 3//-aryl derivatives. The nitration of 3-phenyl-3//-triazolo[4,5-/]quino-line 147 occurred at position 4 of the phenyl ring (Scheme 46) (73T221). 

When 3-phenyl-3//-triazolo[4,5-/]quinoline was heated at 390 00°C, IH-pyrido[2,3-c]carbazole 149 originated. Its structure could be confirmed by unambiguous synthesis from the 8,9,10,1 l-tetrahydro-7//-pyrido[2,3-c]carbazole (52CJC711). 

Amino-2-phenyl-2//-benzotriazole reacted with epichlorhydrin in chlorobenzene at 140-145°C to give the A-benzyl-7-hydroxy-6,7,8,9-tetrahydrotriazolo-quinoline derivative 194. This was benzylated and rearranged by heating in DMSO to give the isomeric 7-benzyloxy derivative 195 (Scheme 59) (77MI2). 

Phenyl-2//-triazolo[4,5-/]quinoline was prepared and used as optical bright-ener, light, and drug stabilizer (86GEP1), whereas 3,5,7-3//-trimethyl-triazolo[4, 5-/]quinoline was identified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry as a water pollutant of the Shinano River (Japan) (82MI6). 

Analogously to ynamines and o, /3-acetylenic ketones, 4-aminobut-3-yn-2-ones react with 1,3-dipoles (68HCA443 73HCA2427 92KGS867). The reaction of 4-dimethylaminobut-3-yn-2-one with diphenylketene follows a route of [2-1-21-cycloaddition (30°C, THF, 1 h) to give 2-acetyl-3-dimethylamino-4,4-diphenyl-cyclobut-2-en-l-one (377) in 15% yield. With ethyl azidoformate (30°C, THF, 3 h), the tiiazole 378 is formed in 82% yield, whereas with phenyl isocyanate, the quinoline 379 is the product (by a [2- -4] scheme) in 70% yield (68HCA443). 

Phenyl-l, 2,3,6-tetrahydro[l, 3]thiazino[3,2-n]quinolin-6-ones 90 were prepared in the reactions of 2-mercapto-5-phenyl-l,4-dihydroquinolin-4-ones 103 and 1,3-dihalopropane in 55-79% yields (97JAP(K)97/278780). 

Cyclocondenzation of 2-aminoquinoline and isopropylidene 2-(l-methylthioalkylidene)malonates on Si02 under microwave irradiations afforded 3-substituted (3-methylthio, 3-methyl, 3-ethyl, and 3-phenyl) l//-pyrimido[l, 2-n]quinolin-1-ones (00MI40). 

Modifications of this method, such as the use of the more stable diazonium trifluoroacetates and the decomposition of benzenedia-zonium zincichloride with zinc dust, have been used as sources of aryl radicals, although not in the arylation of heterocyclic compounds. Pyridine, quinoline, and thiophene can be phenylated by treatment with benzenediazonium chloride and aluminum trichloride. ... 

The phenylation of quinoline with dibenzoyl peroxide was studied by Pausacker, who obtained all seven monophenylated quinolines in relative amounts shown in (4).- He also examined the phenylation of pyridine-iV-oxide with diazoaminobenzene and obtained the results shown in (5). ... 

The phenylation of quinoline with dibenzoyl peroxide has been reported to give a mixture of 4- and 5-phenylquinoline which can be separated by the fractional recrystallization of their picrates, In a later investigation, the other five phenylquinolines have also been identified among the products, the relative reactivities of the nuclear positions being 8- > 4- > 3-, 5- > 2-, 6-, 7-...
