Synthesis of Substituted Quinolines by the Electrophilic Cyclization of N-(2-Alkynyl)anilines

Xiaoxia Zhang et al. Tetrahedron. .

Abstract

A wide variety of substituted quinolines are readily synthesized under mild reaction conditions by the 6-endo-dig electrophilic cyclization of N-(2-alkynyl)anilines by ICl, I(2), Br(2), PhSeBr and p-O(2)NC(6)H(4)SCl. The reaction affords 3-halogen-, selenium- and sulfur-containing quinolines in moderate to good yields in the presence of various functional groups. Analogous quinolines bearing a hydrogen in the 3-position have been synthesized by the Hg(OTf)(2)-catalyzed ring closure of these same alkynylanilines.
