Purification of the residue by silica gel column chromatography (EtOAc:MeOH:Et3N; 10-30:1:1 or PhMe:MeOH:Et3N; 10:1:1) gave 2-phenylquinoline (0.66 g, 42%) as an orange solid.Aniline (0.140 g, 1.50 mmol) and cinnamaldehyde (0.132 g, 1.00 mmol) were dissolved in toluene in a reaction vial equipped with a magnetic stirrer bar, followed by the addition of K10 (0.50 g). The reaction mixture was heated at a temperature of 110 ?C for 3 hours. After completion of the reaction, the crude product was purified by column chromatography over silica gel eluting with a mixture of Hexane : Ethyl acetate (20:1) to produce 2-Phenylquinoline as a yellow solid (0.044 g, 21%); (m.p. 82-84 ?C) (lit. 84-85 °C); Rf 0.67 (20:1 hexane:ethyl acetate);1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δH 7.46-7.51 (1H, m, H-4’), 7.53-7.56 (3H, m, H-6, 3’, 5’), 7.73- 7.77 (1H, m, H-7), 7.85 (1H, d, J = 8.31 Hz, H-5), 7.88-7.91 (1H, d, J = 8.31 Hz, H-3), 8.18- 8.27 (4H, m, H-4, 8, 2’, 6’)13C NMR(400 MHz, CDCl3) δC 119.2 (C-3), 126.7 (C-6), 127.2 (C-4a), 127.5 (C-2’, 6’), 127.9 (C-5), 128.4 (C-3’, 5’), 128.7 (C-4’), 128.9 (C-7, 8), 129.8 (C-4), 130.3 (C-1’), 137.9 (C-8a), 157.2 (C-2)

Substrate-Tuned Domino Annulation for Selective Synthesis of Poly-substituted Benzo[ f]imidazo[2,1- a][2,7]naphthyridines and 3-Azaheterocyclic Substituted 2-Arylquinolines

A domino annulation/oxidation of heterocyclic ketene aminals (HKAs) and 2-aminochalcones has been developed for the selective synthesis of poly-substituted benzo[f]imidazo[2,1-a][2,7]naphthyridines and 3-azaheterocyclic substituted 2-arylquinolines. These reactions proceed well under mild conditions without any additives. Plausible mechanisms for such a polycyclic ring system assembly were also proposed. Moreover, benzo[f]imidazo[2,1-a][2,7]naphthyridine 3g displayed a fluorescence effect, demonstrating the potential applications in organic optical materials.

Dehydrogenation of N-Heterocyclic Compounds Using H2O2 and Mediated by Polar Solvents

The oxidative dehydrogenation of N-heterocyclic compounds by using H2O2 as oxidant in combination with polar solvents such as 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) and H2O is described. Among these two solvents, the best yields for the heteroaromatic compounds were generally achieved in HFIP. However, it is remarkable, that the use of a non toxic solvent such as H2O gave such good yields. Furthermore, the procedure was implemented in larger-scale and HFIP was distilled from the reaction mixture and reused (up to 5 cycles) without a significant detriment in the reaction outcome. (Figure presented.).

Visible-Light-Mediated Oxidative Cyclization of 2-Aminobenzyl Alcohols and Secondary Alcohols Enabled by an Organic Photocatalyst

This paper describes a visible-light-mediated oxidative cyclization of 2-aminobenzyl alcohols and secondary alcohols to produce quinolines at room temperature. This photocatalytic method employed anthraquinone as an organic small-molecule catalyst and DMSO as an oxidant. According to this present procedure, a series of quinolines were prepared in satisfactory yields.

Bioinspired Radical-Mediated Transition-Metal-Free Synthesis of N-Heterocycles under Visible Light

A redox-active iminoquinone motif connected with π-delocalized pyrene core has been reported that can perform efficient two-electron oxidation of a class of substrates. The design of the molecule was inspired by the organic redox cofactor topaquinone (TPQ), which executes amine oxidation in the enzyme, copper amine oxidase. Easy oxidation of both primary and secondary alcohols happened in the presence of catalytic KOtBu, which could reduce the ligand backbone to its iminosemiquinonate form under photoinduced conditions. Moreover, this easy oxidation of alcohols under aerobic condition could be elegantly extended to multi-component, one-pot coupling for the synthesis of quinoline and pyrimidine. This organocatalytic approach is very mild (70 °C, 8 h) compared to a multitude of transition-metal catalysts that have been used to prepare these heterocycles. A detailed mechanistic study proves the intermediacy of the iminosemiquinonate-type radical and a critical hydrogen atom transfer step to be involved in the dehydrogenation reaction.

Ionic-Liquid-Catalyzed Synthesis of Imines, Benzimidazoles, Benzothiazoles, Quinoxalines and Quinolines through C?N, C?S, and C?C Bond Formation

We report the tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide catalyzed oxidative coupling of amines and alcohols for the synthesis of imines under metal-free conditions by utilizing oxygen from air as the terminal oxidant. Under the same conditions, with ortho-phenylene diamines and 2-aminobenzenethiols the corresponding benzimidazoles and benzothiazoles were obtained. Quinoxalines were obtained from ortho-phenylene diamines and 1-phenylethane-1,2-diol, the conditions were then extended to the synthesis of quinoline building blocks by reaction of 2-amino benzyl alcohols either with 1-phenylethan-1-ol or acetophenone derivatives. The formation of C?N, C?S and C?C bonds was achieved under metal-free conditions. A broad range of amines (aromatic, aliphatic, cyclic and heteroaromatic) as well as benzylic alcohols including heteroaryl alcohols reacted smoothly and provided the desired products. The mild reaction conditions, commercially available catalyst, metal-free, good functional-group tolerance, broad range of products (imines, benzimidazoles, benzothiazoles, quinoxalines and quinolines) and applicability at gram scale reactions are the advantages of the present strategy.

Highly Efficient and Recyclable Porous Organic Polymer Supported Iridium Catalysts for Dehydrogenation and Borrowing Hydrogen Reactions in Water

Benzothiazole-doped porous organic polymers (POP-MBTS) were synthesized from a copolymerization reaction of 2-(6-(4-vinylphenyl)pyridin-2-yl)benzo[d]thiazole with divinylbenzene. The corresponding POP-MBTS-Ir was obtained and fully characterized using SEM, TEM, EDS, TGA, XPS, and N2 sorption isotherms, which disclosed that this catalyst has a high surface area, hierarchical porosity, and thermodynamic stability. Importantly, this catalyst revealed a high catalytic activity for ten different kinds of borrowing hydrogen and dehydrogenation reactions in water with a good recovery performance. Furthermore, mechanistic investigations were conducted for the synthesis of triazine derivatives.

Zinc Stabilized Azo-anion Radical in Dehydrogenative Synthesis of N-Heterocycles. An Exclusively Ligand Centered Redox Controlled Approach

Herein we report an exclusively ligand-centered redox controlled approach for the dehydrogenation of a variety of N-heterocycles using a Zn(II)-stabilized azo-anion radical complex as the catalyst. A simple, easy-to-prepare, and bench-stable Zn(II)-complex (1b) featuring the tridentate arylazo pincer, 2-((4-chlorophenyl)diazenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline, in the presence of zinc-dust, undergoes reduction to form the azo-anion radical species [1b]- which efficiently dehydrogenates various saturated N-heterocycles such as 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-methylquinoline, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-isoquinoline, indoline, 2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzoimidazole, 2,3-dihydro-2-phenylquinazolin-4(1H)-one, and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-phenylquinazolines, among others, under air. The catalyst has further been found to be compatible with the cascade synthesis of these N-heterocycles via dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols with other suitable coupling partners under air. Mechanistic investigation reveals that the dehydrogenation reactions proceed via a one-electron hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) pathway where the zinc-stabilized azo-anion radical ligand abstracts the hydrogen atom from the organic substrate(s), and the whole catalytic cycle proceeds via the exclusive involvement of the ligand-centered redox events where the zinc acts only as the template.

Iron catalyzed metal-ligand cooperative approaches towards sustainable synthesis of quinolines and quinazolin-4(3H)-ones

Herein we report simple, efficient, and economically affordable metal-ligand cooperative strategies for synthesizing quinolines and quinazolin-4(3H)-ones via dehydrogenative functionalization of alcohols. Various polysubstituted quinolines and quinazolin-4(3H)-ones were prepared in good yields via dehydrogenative coupling of readily available alcohols with ketones and 2-aminobenzamides, respectively under air using a well-defined Fe(II)-catalyst, ([FeL1Cl2] (1)) bearing a redox-active azo-aromatic pincer 2-((4-chlorophenyl)diazenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline) (L1). Control experiments and mechanistic investigation disclose that the one-electron reduced mono-anionic species [1]? bearing an iron-stabilized azo-anion radical ligand catalyzes these reactions. Both iron and the redox-active arylazo ligand participate synergistically during the different steps of these catalytic reactions.
