A convenient synthesis of 2,4-unsubstituted quinoline-3-carboxylic acid ethyl esters via a domino process is described. The synthesis employs arylmethyl azides as the precursor which undergoes an acid-promoted rearrangement to give an N-aryl iminium ion. Following the addition with ethyl 3-ethoxyacrylate, intramolecular electrophilic aromatic substitution, elimination and subsequent oxidation, the quinoline products were obtained in moderate to excellent yields.
通过多步反应,我们方便地合成了 2,4-取代的喹啉-3-羧酸乙酯。该合成方法采用芳基甲基叠氮化物作为前体,在酸促进下重排生成 N-芳基亚胺离子。接着与乙基 3-乙氧基丙烯酸酯进行加成反应,进行分子内亲电芳香取代、消除和随后的氧化反应,以中等至优秀的收率得到了喹啉产物。
