With trichlorophosphate; for 3h;Heating; |
A mixture of 7-methoxyquinolin-4(1H)-one 6 (10mmol) and phosphorous oxychloride (30mL) was heated for 3h. Most of phosphorous oxychloride was removed by evaporation under reduced pressure, and the residue was poured into ice water. Then, the mixture was made alkaline with ammonium hydroxide; the precipitate formed was collected by filtration, washed well with water and dried in a vacuum; and compound 7 was obtained as white solid (1.7g, 88%). ESI-MS m/z 194 [M+H]+. 1H NMR (300MHz, CDCl3): delta 8.67 (1H, d, J= 4.8Hz, ArH), 8.09 (1H, d, J= 9.0Hz, ArH), 7.42 (1H, d, J= 2.4Hz, ArH), 7.33 (1H, d, J= 4.8Hz, ArH), 7.28 (1H, dd, J=9.0Hz, J=2.4Hz, ArH), 3.97 (3H, s, CH3). 13C NMR (75MHz, CDCl3) delta 161.3, 151.0, 150.2, 142.4, 125.3, 121.7, 120.8, 119.3, 107.7, 55.9. |

With N-ethyl-N,N-diisopropylamine; trichlorophosphate; at 100℃; for 1h; |
3-Methoxyaniline (1.23 g) and 5-methoxymethylene-2,2-dimethyl-[1,3]dioxan-4,6-dione (1.90 g) were dissolved in 2-propanol (40 ml), and the mixture was stirred at 70C for one hr. The solvent was removed by distillation under the reduced pressure, and the residue was washed with ether to give 5-[(3-methoxy-phenylamino)-methylene]-2,2-dimethyl-[1,3]dio xan-4,6-dione (1.22 g, yield 44%). 5-[(3-Methoxy-phenylamino)-methylene]-2,2-dimethyl-[1,3]dioxan-4,6-dione (1.22 g) and biphenyl (5.1 g) were suspended in diphenyl ether (15 ml), and the mixture was stirred at 220C for 1.5 hr. The reaction mixture as such was purified by column chromatography with a methanol-chloroform system to give 7-methoxy-1H-quinolin-4-one (394 mg, yield 51%). 7-Methoxy-1H-quinolin-4-one (394 mg) was suspended in diisopropylethylamine (3 ml), phosphorus oxychloride (1 ml) was added to the suspension, and the mixture was stirred at 100C for one hr. Water was added to the reaction mixture under ice cooling. The aqueous layer was neutralized with an aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution, and the organic layer was extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was then washed with water and was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed by distillation under the reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by column chromatography with an acetone-chloroform system to give 4-chloro-7-methoxyquinoline (312 mg, yield 72%). |
