Oxidative Dimerization of Quinolinic Nitroxides in the Presence of Trichloro- and Trifluoro- Acetic Acid. Crystal Structures of 6,6'-bis-(1-oxide-1,2,6,8a-tetrahydroquinoline)ylidene and of 2,3-Diphenylquinoline

Quinolinic nitroxides 1a-c react with trichloro- (TCA) and trifluoro- (TFA) acetic acid to give dimers 3a-c and 4a-c as the main products.Products 3a-c are explained as arising via the intermediate formation of the radical cation 5, which forms the final

Herein, we report a reaction that selectively generates 3-arylpyridine and quinoline motifs by inserting aryl carbynyl cation equivalents into pyrrole and indole cores, respectively. By employing α-chlorodiazirines as thermal precursors to the corresponding chlorocarbenes, the traditional haloform-based protocol central to the parent Ciamician-Dennstedt rearrangement can be modified to directly afford 3-(hetero)arylpyridines and quinolines. Chlorodiazirines are conveniently prepared in a single step by oxidation of commercially available amidinium salts. Selectivity as a function of pyrrole substitution pattern was examined, and a predictive model based on steric effects is put forward, with DFT calculations supporting a selectivity-determining cyclopropanation step. Computations surprisingly indicate that the stereochemistry of cyclopropanation is of little consequence to the subsequent electrocyclic ring opening that forges the pyridine core, due to a compensatory homoaromatic stabilization that counterbalances orbital-controlled torquoselectivity effects. The utility of this skeletal transform is further demonstrated through the preparation of quinolinophanes and the skeletal editing of pharmaceutically relevant pyrroles.

Despite the significant success of metal-H-catalyzed hydroamination methodologies, considerable limitations still exist in the selective hydroamination of alkynes, especially for terminal alkynes. Herein, we develop a highly efficient NiH catalytic system that activates readily available alkynes for a cascade hydroamination/cyclization reaction with anthranils. This mild, operationally simple protocol is amenable to a wide array of alkynes including terminal and internal, aryl and alkyl, electron-deficient and electron-rich ones, delivering structurally diverse quinolines in useful to excellent yields (>80 examples, up to 93% yield). The utility of this procedure is exhibited in the late-stage functionalization of several natural products and in the concise synthesis of an antitumor molecule graveolinine and a triplex DNA intercalator. Preliminary mechanistic experiments suggest an alkenylnickel-mediated alkyne hydroamination and an intramolecular cyclization/aromatization of putative enamine intermediates.
