Achieving controllable C-H functionalization to elaborate valuable compounds from simple chemicals is attractive and highly desirable, especially if nonprecious transition metal catalysts can be used. However, controlling selectivity in these transformations remains a continuous challenge to synthetic chemists. Herein, we show for the first time that control over the reactive organometallic intermediate enables the switchable synthesis of quinoline and indole from amides and alkynes through C-H activation using Cp?Co(III). The keys to this strategy are (1) introducing a Lewis acid to greatly accelerate the dehydrative cyclization, which can outcompete dehydrogenative cyclization, and (2) tuning the directing group to facilitate the dehydrogenative cyclization and inhibit dehydrative cyclization.

Herein, we report a reaction that selectively generates 3-arylpyridine and quinoline motifs by inserting aryl carbynyl cation equivalents into pyrrole and indole cores, respectively. By employing α-chlorodiazirines as thermal precursors to the corresponding chlorocarbenes, the traditional haloform-based protocol central to the parent Ciamician-Dennstedt rearrangement can be modified to directly afford 3-(hetero)arylpyridines and quinolines. Chlorodiazirines are conveniently prepared in a single step by oxidation of commercially available amidinium salts. Selectivity as a function of pyrrole substitution pattern was examined, and a predictive model based on steric effects is put forward, with DFT calculations supporting a selectivity-determining cyclopropanation step. Computations surprisingly indicate that the stereochemistry of cyclopropanation is of little consequence to the subsequent electrocyclic ring opening that forges the pyridine core, due to a compensatory homoaromatic stabilization that counterbalances orbital-controlled torquoselectivity effects. The utility of this skeletal transform is further demonstrated through the preparation of quinolinophanes and the skeletal editing of pharmaceutically relevant pyrroles.

C-H activation assisted by a bifunctional directing group has allowed the construction of heterocycles. This is ideally catalyzed by earth-abundant and eco-friendly transition metals. We report Co(III)-catalyzed redox-neutral coupling between arenes and alkynes using an NH amide as an electrophilic directing group. The redox-neutral C-H activation/coupling afforded quinolines with water as the sole byproduct.
About the intermediacy of 1,2-dihydroquinazolinium salts in the Friedl?nder-Borsche synthesis of quinolinium salts in acidic medium

Spontaneously or under various heating conditions, 2-alkyl- or 2-aryl-(iminoalkyl)benzenamines react with ketones and triflic acid (1:1:1) to give quinolinium salts. When working under milder thermal conditions, intermediate 1,2-dihydroquinazolinium derivatives can be isolated or detected in solution but decompose upon standing or heating to give the corresponding quinolinium salts.
