Abstract

A mild and efficient method for the synthesis of py­rano[3,2-f]quinoline and 4,7-phenanthroline derivatives via three-component domino reaction of heterocyclic amines, aldehydes, and terminal alkyne using BF3˙OEt2 as Lewis acid catalyst is described. The features of this procedure are mild reaction conditions, good to high yields, and operational simplicity.

Key words

multicomponent reaction - BF3˙OEt2 - 4,7-phenanthroline - pyrano[3,2-f]quinoline - pyrano[3,2-g]quinoline - aromatic aldehyde - phenyl acetylene

Synthesis of Compound 4a A mixture of the heterocyclic amine 1a (0.287 mmol) and aromatic aldehyde 2a (0.287 mmol) was stirred in toluene at r.t. for 10 min. After addition of 10 mol% BF3˙OEt2 (mol% calcd relative to the phenyl acetylene 3) phenyl acetylene (3, 0.261 mmol) was added, and the reaction mixture was refluxed for 4 h. After completion of the reaction as monitored by TLC the reaction mixture was cooled and diluted with sat. NaHCO3 solution (40 mL). This was extracted with EtOAc (3 × 20 mL). The combined organic extract was washed with brine and dried over Na2SO4. The solvent was distilled off. The resulting crude product was purified by column chromatography over silica gel (60-120 mesh) using PE-EtOAc (4:1) as eluent to give the compound 4a. Yield 87%; colorless solid; mp 270-272 ˚C.
