Betti reaction enables efficient synthesis of 8-hydroxyquinoline inhibitors of 2-oxoglutarate oxygenases
There is interest in developing potent, selective, and cell-permeable inhibitors of human ferrous iron and 2-oxoglutarate (2OG) oxygenases for use in functional and target validation studies. The 3-component Betti reaction enables efficient one-step C-7 functionalisation of modified 8-hydroxyquinolines (8HQs) to produce cell-active inhibitors of KDM4 histone demethylases and other 2OG oxygenases; the work exemplifies how a template-based metallo-enzyme inhibitor approach can be used to give biologically active compounds.
Synthesis of 8-hydroxyquinolines with amino and thioalkyl functionalities at position 4
(Chemical Equation Presented) Six 8-hydroxyquinolines with amino and thioalkyl functionalities at position 4 have been prepared. The synthesis starts with chlorination of the readily available 4-hydroxy-8-tosyloxyquinoline to give 4-chloro-8-tosyloxyquinoline in 94% yield. Treatment of the 4-chloro-8-tosyloxyquinoline with sulphur and nitrogen nucleophiles produces the target 4-amino and 4-thioalkyl-8-hydroxyquinolines in more than 70% yield. In case of sulphur nucleophiles and pyrrolidine, the removal of the protecting tosyl group at position 8 occurs simultaneously with the substitution of chlorine at position 4.
