Abstract

Polysubstituted quinolines are readily prepared in high yields under extremely mild conditions through a sequential condensation/annulation reaction of 2-aminoaryl ketones and α-methylene ketones using a catalytic amount of bismuth triflate.

Key words

o-aminoaryl ketones - bismuth catalysis - domino reactions - quinolines

General Procedure: A mixture of the 2-aminoaryl ketone (1.0 mmol), α-methylene ketone (1.2 mmol) and Bi(OTf)₃ or Sc(OTf)₃ (5 mol%) in EtOH (10 mL) was stirred at r.t. for the specified time (see Table [1] ). After completion of the reaction as indicated by TLC, the reaction mixture was quenched with water (15 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (2 × 10 mL). Evaporation of the solvent followed by purification on silica gel (Merck, 100-200 mesh, EtOAc-hexane, 0.5:9.5) afforded pure quinoline.
