A novel, metal-free oxidative intramolecular Mannich reaction was developed between secondary amines and unmodified ketones, affording a simple and direct access to a broad range of 2-arylquinolin-4(1H)-ones through C(sp3)-H activation/C(sp3)-C(sp3) bond formation from readily available N-arylmethyl-2-aminophenylketones, using TEMPO as the oxidant and KOtBu as the base.

Translocator protein (18 kDa), known as TSPO, is a recognized biomarker of neuroinflammation. Radioligands with PET accurately quantify TSPO in neuroinflammatory conditions. However, the existence of three human TSPO genotypes that show differential affinity to almost all useful TSPO PET radioligands hampers such studies. There is an unmet need for genotype-insensitive, high-affinity, and moderately lipophilic TSPO ligands that may serve as leads for PET radioligand development. To address this need, we varied the known high-affinity TSPO ligand (l)-N,N-diethyl-2-methyl-3-(2- phenylquinolin-4-yl)propanamide in its aryl scaffold, side chain tether, and pendant substituted amido group while retaining an N-methyl group as a site for labeling with carbon-11. From this effort, oxygen-tethered N-methyl- aryloxypropanamides emerged as new high-affinity TSPO ligands with attenuated lipophilicity, including one example with attractive properties for PET radioligand development, namely N-methyl-N-phenyl-2-{[2-(pyridin-2-yl)quinolin- 4-yl]oxy}propanamide (22a; rat Ki = 0.10 nM; human TSPO genotypes Ki = 1.4 nM; clogD = 4.18).
