Polyphosphoric acid (PPA)-catalyzed cyclization of 2-ono-3- vinylquinolinecarboxylic acid (1) yielded 3,4-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-2H- pyrano[2,3-b]quinoline (4). The same reaction of 4-methoxy-2-oxo-3- vinylquinolinecarboxylic acid (1g) afforded 4-methoxy-2,2-dimethylpyrano[2,3- b]-quinoline (4g), which on hydrolysis with ethanolic hydrochloric acid gave khaplofoline (5). The Prevost reaction of 4-methoxy-3-prenylquinolin-2-one (6) using I2/HgO in acetic acid yielded 4-methoxy-2-isopropylfuro[2,3- b]quinoline (7). Compound 7 on reduction with H2/Pd-C followed by N- methylation and de-O-methylation afforded lunacrine (10a). A similar reaction sequence on 6b gave demethoxylunacrine (10b).

A new and general synthesis of tricyclic quinolone alkaloids is described which, by cyclization of 3-butenyl-4-hydroxyquinolones promoted by mercury(II) ion or by formic acid, affords pyranoquinolones and pyranoquinolones, respectively, with regio- and site-selectivity better than those obtained employing known methodologies. 3-Butenyl-4-hydroxyquinolones have been reacted with mercury(II) acetate to give, after work-up, the corresponding 2-(chloromercurymethyl)pyranoquinolones, which have been reductively demercurated with sodium borohydride and then dehydrogenated by treatment with DDQ.Alternatively, from the same starting compounds the "linear" isomers are obtained by formic acid-promoted cyclization.N-Methylflindersine, khaplofoline and other structurally similar alkaloids have been obtained.
A NOVEL PHOTOCHEMICAL PRENYLATION REACTION OF HETEROAROMATICS INVOLVING AN ENONE FUNCTION IN THEIR RING SYSTEM

, p. 1531 - 1534 (2007/10/02)
In a novel photochemical prenylation of heteroaromatics involving an enone function in their ring system, the key step is an acid-catalyzed C-C bond fission in the head-to-tail adduct formed by photocycloaddition of these heteroaromatics to 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol to give the heteroaromatics having a 3-methylbut-2-enyl function (or its equivalent) at the α-position of the enone system.Examples using 2-quinolones, 2-pyridones, and coumarins are reported.KEYWORDS---photochemical synthesis; photochemical prenylation; 3,3-dimethylallyalation of heteroaromatics; photochemical 2+2 cycloaddition; 3-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)-2-quinolones; 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol as prenylation reagent; synthesis of khaplofoline
