4-Quinolones, addition

Ca.ta.lysts, A small amount of quinoline promotes the formation of rigid foams (qv) from diols and unsaturated dicarboxyhc acids (100). Acrolein and methacrolein 1,4-addition polymerisation is catalysed by lithium complexes of quinoline (101). Organic bases, including quinoline, promote the dehydrogenation of unbranched alkanes to unbranched alkenes using platinum on sodium mordenite (102). The peracetic acid epoxidation of a wide range of alkenes is catalysed by 8-hydroxyquinoline (103). Hydroformylation catalysts have been improved using 2-quinolone [59-31-4] (104) (see Catalysis). 

Several promising antibacterial compounds are available and may be considered for use in U.S. aquaculture. In addition to sarafloxacin, other quinolones, flumequine and oxolinic acid, are already registered in Europe. However, resistance to both of these compounds developed in bacteria in just a few years (20). Enrofloxacin, [95106-60-6], C22H22FN2O2, a quinolone product of Bayer A.G. (Germany), is also a candidate for aquaculture registration in Europe and may be considered for registration in the United States. 

Kemp utilized a very similar oxo-diester 49. Not only was this ketone reactive enough to form an enamine using p-nitroaniline 48, but 49 underwent bis-addition of aniline 48, providing 50 in 64% yield. Intermediate 50 smoothly cyclized to provide quinolone 51 which was utilized to prepare a diacylaminoepindolidione, a template to study the folding of 3-pleated sheets. 

These amines gave, with methyl propiolate, products of Michael mono- and bis-addition. Adducts underwent further reaction leading to triazolo[4,5-/]quinolones 181, after retro Diels-Alder reaction and acetylene elimination to its methoxycar-... 

A cme-substitution occurred on the addition of triethylamine to a mixture of 2-quinolone 67 and a 1,3-dicarbonyl compound to give 68 <96BCJ(69)1377>. 

A typical second step after the insertion of CO into aryl or alkenyl-Pd(II) compounds is the addition to alkenes [148]. However, allenes can also be used (as shown in the following examples) where a it-allyl-r 3-Pd-complex is formed as an intermediate which undergoes a nucleophilic substitution. Thus, Alper and coworkers [148], as well as Grigg and coworkers [149], described a Pd-catalyzed transformation of o-iodophenols and o-iodoanilines with allenes in the presence of CO. Reaction of 6/1-310 or 6/1-311 with 6/1-312 in the presence of Pd° under a CO atmosphere (1 atm) led to the chromanones 6/1-314 and quinolones 6/1-315, respectively, via the Jt-allyl-r 3-Pd-complex 6/1-313 (Scheme 6/1.82). The enones obtained can be transformed by a Michael addition with amines, followed by reduction to give y-amino alcohols. Quinolones and chromanones are of interest due to their pronounced biological activity as antibacterials [150], antifungals [151] and neurotrophic factors [152]. 

Although not reviewed in detail here, C. jejuni and C. coli are another major cause of inflammatory colitis that may be complicated by Guillain-Barre syndrome or reactive arthritis. In addition, their resistance to antimicrobials (particularly to quinolones) is increasing. In the United States, fluoroquinolone resistance of C. jejuni rose from 13% in 1997 to 18% in 1999 [112],... 

Several drug classes, including tetracycline, sulfonamide, and quinolone antibiotics, as well as chlorothiazide, chlorpromazine, and amiodarone hydrochloride, have been shown to be photoantigens. Photosensitivity may persist even after withdrawal of the drug, as has been observed with the antiarrhythmic drug amiodarone hydrochloride, since it is lipophilic and can be stored for extended periods in the body fat (Unkovic et al., 1984). In addition, it is quite common for cross-reactions to occur between structurally related drugs of the same class. 

A review of Claisen rearrangements in aqueous solution has appeared. The synthesis of natural products utilizing tandem Diels-Alder additions with sigmatropic rearrangement processes has been reviewed, and a brief review of the regioselective synthesis of coumarins, quinolones and thiocoumarins with 3,4-fused pyran or furan ring systems by the Claisen rearrangement has been presented. ...
