The reaction between aryl Grignard compounds and 5-methoxy-6-nitroquinoline derivatives in THF was found to proceed in a chemodivergent mode that depended on the functional groups present in the heterocyclic ring. Thus, the reactions that started from carbostyril derivatives afforded 6-(arylamino)carbostyrils as the major products, whereas those that started with 2-alkoxyquinolines gave exclusively 5-arylquinolines. Both types of products were transformed into tetracyclic fused linear or angular carbazole systems by using palladium-promoted oxidative coupling or Cadogan reactions, respectively. In the course of this work, an unprecedented oxidative demethylation by palladium acetate of 1,4-dimethoxybenzene systems to the corresponding quinones was discovered. The reaction between aryl Grignard compounds and 5-methoxy-6-nitroquinoline derivatives in THF proceeded in a chemodivergent mode that depended on the electron-withdrawing or electron-releasing nature of the functional groups present in the heterocyclic ring to give N-arylation or C 5-arylation products, respectively.
