A novel palladium-catalyzed protocol for the synthesis of 9-arylacridines via tandem reaction of 2-(arylamino)benzonitrile with arylboronic acids in water has been developed with good functional group tolerance. The present synthetic route could be readily scaled up to gram quantity without difficulty. This methodology was further extended to the synthesis of a 4′-OH derivative, which showed estrogenic biological activity. Preliminary mechanistic experiments showed that this transformation involves a nucleophilic addition of aryl palladium species to the nitrile to generate an aryl ketone intermediate followed by an intramolecular Friedel-Crafts acylation and dehydration to acridines.

Despite the recent advance in C-H bond functionalization chemistry, the C-H bonds in the acridine ring system, which is an important scaffold in medicinal and material science, have met with limited success, due, in part, to the lack of activated C-H bonds adjacent to the ring nitrogen atom. Herein, several protocols that can effect the regioselective arylation and alkylation of acridines at the C-4 and C-9 positions are described.
