Quinolines, alkylation nitration

On acetylation it gives acetanilide. Nitrated with some decomposition to a mixture of 2-and 4-nitroanilines. It is basic and gives water-soluble salts with mineral acids. Heating aniline sulphate at 190 C gives sulphanilic add. When heated with alkyl chlorides or aliphatic alcohols mono- and di-alkyl derivatives are obtained, e.g. dimethylaniline. Treatment with trichloroethylene gives phenylglycine. With glycerol and sulphuric acid (Skraup s reaction) quinoline is obtained, while quinaldine can be prepared by the reaction between aniline, paraldehyde and hydrochloric acid. 

Alkylation a.ndAryla.tion, The direct introduction of carbon—carbon bonds in quinoline rings takes place in low yield and with Htde selectivity. The most promising report involves carboxyHc acids with ammonium persulfate and silver nitrate (31). 

The 6-methylacetylamino-l,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline, after nitration and separation of isomers, following reduction and deprotection, gave the 7-amino-6-methylamino derivative, which cyclized with cyanogen bromide. Alkylation of the cyclization products afforded inhibitors of thymidylate synthase, 5-substituted 2-amino-l//-l-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo[4,5-g]quinolines 136, designed for use in iterative protein crystal analysis (Scheme 42) (92JMC847). 

Alkylation of protonated nitrogen heterocycles (e.g., pyridines, quinolines) can be accomplished by treatment with a carboxylic acid, silver nitrate, sulfuric acid, and ammonium peroxydisulfate. The R group can be primary, secondary, or tertiary. The attacking species is R% formed by " ... 

Isoquinoline (pK 5.4) has similar basicity to quinoline and pyridine, and also undergoes A -alkylation and A -acylation. Nitration occurs... 

Reactions of dibenzopyridines show analogies with pyridine, quinoline and isoquinoline. Acridine and phenanthridine are A-protonated by strong protic acids, iV-alkylated by alkyl halides and A-oxidized by peroxy acids. Electrophilic substitutions of acridine often result in disubstitution at the 2- and 7-positions (e.g. nitration giving 3), whereas those of phenanthridine occur at different positions (e.g. nitration mainly at the 1- and 10-position yielding 4 and 5) ... 

Benzoyliminopyridinium ylide couples with phenylboronic acids at C-2 and C-4 (Scheme 37).This direct C-H arylation occurs at room temperature with an inexpensive catalyst silver nitrate with potassium persulfate. An excess of the phenylboronic acid was necessary for a high conversion additionally, using phenylboronic acid pinacol ester decreased the yield. Coupling a quinoline ylide also resulted in a mixture of C-2 and C-4 arylation, with a slight preference for the C-2. Alkylated pyridine ylides also coupled with a mixture of C-2 and C-4 arylations when possible (14SL1413). 

Amino-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (237) is convertible into its anthranilic acid derivative (238), which is cyclized by phosphorus oxychloride to 6-chloro-[l,2,5]thiadiazolo[3,4-c]acridine (239). Replacement of its 6-halogeno-substituent produces derivatives such as (240). An analogous series of reactions provides 7,8,9,10-tetrahydro-analogues. The condensation of (237) and alkyl 2-oxocyclopentanecarboxylate yields derivatives of the [1,2,5]-thiadiazolo[3,4-h]quinoline ring system such as (241)—(243). Electrophilic substitutions of naphtho[l,2-d][2,l,3]thiadiazole (244) have been studied in some detail. Nitration produces a mixture of the 6- and...
