Quinolines 2-methyl-, from aniline

Non-hemiterpenoid Quinolines.—New sources of the simple quinolines 4-methoxy-l-methyl-2-quinolone and its 8-methoxy-derivative (folimine) have been reported the former was isolated from Myrtopsis sellingii9 and from Zanthoxylum cuspidatum,16 and folimine was shown to be a constituent of Haplophyllum perforatum.5 The latter species also contains foliosidine (9), previously isolated from H. foliosum. The micro-organism Pseudomonas aertiginosa has been shown to contain 2-(hept-l-enyl)-4-quinolone (12).10 The structure of the alkaloid was established by n.m.r. and mass spectroscopy and by its synthesis from aniline and the j3-keto-ester Me(CH2)4CH=CHC0CH2C02Me. 

Nadaraj et al. carried out MW-assisted synthesis of 4-methyl-2-hydroxy-quinolines (46) and 2-methyl-4-hydroxyquiniolines (47) from aniline and ethyl acetoacetate (Scheme 6.19) [58],... 

Derivatives. Small amounts of alkyl quiaolines are present ia the tars resulting from the carbonization and Hquefaction of coal (111). Good yields of 4-methyl quinoline, 4,6-dimethyl quinoline [826-77-7], and 4,8-dimethyl quinoline [13362-80-6] are obtained from 4-(diethylamino)-2-butanone and the appropriate aniline. This approach is a promising addition to the traditional syntheses discussed eadier (112). Vlaylacetylene reacts with mercuric chloride and either aniline or -toluidine to yield 4-methyl- and 4,6-dimethyl quinoline, respectively (113). 

In a reaction which is mechanistically related to the Skraup reaction an a,/ -unsaturated carbonyl compound, generated by way of an acid-catalysed aldol condensation, reacts with a primary aromatic amine in the presence of acid to yield a quinoline derivative (Doebner-Miller reaction). For example, when aniline is heated with paraldehyde (which depolymerises to acetaldehyde during the reaction) in the presence of hydrochloric acid the final product is 2-methyl-quinoline (101) (quinaldine, Expt 8.40). Retrosynthetic analysis for the 1,2-dihydroquinoline reveals crotonaldedhyde as the unsaturated carbonyl component which is in turn formed from acetaldehyde (see Section 5.18.2, p. 799). 

Hydroxy-l-methyl-3-prenyl-2-quinolones, cf. (22), are key intermediates in the synthesis of quinoline alkaloids, and usually are prepared in one stage from an N-methyl-aniline and diethyl prenylmalonate. Interesting new methods beginning with N-methylisatoic anhydrides, cf. (20), have been explored and briefly repor-... 

The reaction has been used to synthesize libraries of benzonaphthyridines 196, in high diastereoselectivity, from the cycloaddition of 1,4-dihydrop3Tidines with imines formed from aldehydes and anilines. When cyclic enol ethers were used as dienophUes, mixtures of diastereomers 197 were obtained. These compounds were oxidized to the corresponding quinolines 198 and were further transformed to the quinolinium salts 199 as shown in Scheme 36 [76]. Compounds 196 and 198 were tested for their ability to inhibit human propyl oligopeptidase (POP) and were found to have modest potencies. Much better results were obtained when the quinoline nitrogen was methylated to provide adducts 199. The cationic center improved the inhibitory activity of these compounds (Fig. 23). 

Pyrazolo[3,4-Z)]pyridines, the 7-chloro-6-fluoro-2,4-dimethylquinoline and its mercapto-thiadiazolyl or oxadiazolyl quinolines 21 were prepared via Diels-Alder reaction conversion of methyl 2-(3-oxo-3-phenylpropenylamino)benzoate into 3-benzoyl-l.S -quinolin-4-one 22 . A mixture of aniline derivatives and malonic ester gave a variety of 3-aryl-4-hydroxyquinolin-2(l//)-ones 23. Condensation of isatins with ketones afforded quinoline-4-carboxylic acids. 2-Aryl-l,2,3,4-tetrahydro-4-quinolinones 22 and carbazolylquinolone were also prepared. The substitution of 2-chloroquinoline gave the 2-substituted quinolines. Basic alumina has catalyzed the C-C bond formation between 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone and 2-chloroquinoline derivative to give 21. Reaction of organic halides with 8-hydroxyquinolines gave the respective ethers. The azodye derivatives of 21 were prepared in the absence of solvent. Silica gel catalyzed the formation of 2-ketomethylquinolines from reaction of 2-methylquinolines with acyl chlorides. 

The results of supercritical water reaction of quinoline in the presence of Fe2O3 conducted by Ogunsola (4) allowed her to develop a reaction sequence depicted in Figure 3. Generation of aniline type products has been regarded by Houser et al (24) as due to pronounced preference for 1-2 bond rupture. The presence of naphthalene 2- methyl also suggests that naphthalene is an intermediate product that may arise from methyl-indane interaction. 

The compound of oxidation state intermediate between that of lupinine and lupininic acid, namely, lupinal, C10H17NO, m.p. 93-96°, has been obtained by Zaboev (72) through the use of chromic anhydride in acetic acid. It appears that the first use of natural lupinine itself as a synthetic tool dates from the work of Bartholomaus and Schaumann, described in two patents (150, 151). Products were characterized which resulted from the condensation of chloro- or bromo-lupinane (derived from lupinine (124, 125)) with ammonia, aniline, methylamine, dimethyl-amine, and piperidine (150). The product resulting from chlorolupinane and piperidine was also described by Clemo and Paper (126). Compounds of possible therapeutic interest were made by the condensation of a halolupinane with 8-amino-2-methylquinoline, 4-amino-2-methyl-quinoline, and by the combination of methylaminolupinane with 4-chloro-... 

In addition, Schiff bases can also be applied as intermediates of quinoline formation. Thus, Schiff bases derived from 2-(trifluoromethyl) aniline and a methyl naphthone, mediated by lithium 2-(dimethylamino)-ethylamide, were used to furnish a series of substituted 2-(2-naphthyl)quinolines designed to target DNA. ... 

This reaction was initially reported by Doebner and von Miller in 1881 as a modification of the original Skraup Reaction, and it was subsequently modified by Beyer in 1886 It is an acidic condensation between primary aromatic amines (e.g., anilines) and Q ,j8-unsaturated carbonyl compounds (mostly o ,y3-unsaturated aldehydes) to give 2,3-disubstituted quinolines. Therefore, this reaction is generally known as the Doebner-Miller reaction, or Doebner-Miller synthesis." In addition, this reaction is also referred to as the Doebner-von Miller quinoline synthesis, Skraup-Doebner-von Miller reaction, Skraup-Doebner-von Miller quinoline synthesis, Doebner-Miller condensation, and Doebner-Miller Quinaldine Synthesis. For comparison, the modification from Beyer, known as the Beyer method for quinoline, is an acidic condensation between anilines and Q ,j8-unsaturated carbonyl compounds generated in situ from aldehyde or aldehyde and methyl ketone to afford 2,4-disubstituted quinolines." The optimal condition of this reaction is to heat the mixture of aniline/aldehyde (1 2) at 100°C for 6 h with hydrochloric acid and zinc chloride in addition, an oxidizing reagent is also needed in this reaction, such as nitrobenzene. However, it has been reported that A -alkylanilines are also formed in this reaction. The nature and... 

Reddy et al. [54] developed a method involving in situ-generated aza-diene, from A -[methyl-A -(trimethylsilyl)methyl]aniline using catalytic amount of molecular iodine which undergoes smooth [4+2] cycloaddition with electron-rich enol ethers, such as 3,4-dihydro-2/f-pyran and 2,3-dihydrofuran to afford the corresponding hexahydropyrano 26 and furo[3,2-c]quinoline derivatives 27, respectively, in good yields (Scheme 10.20).
