Abstract

Novel substituted 4-methyl-4,5-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]-quinolines were prepared by a simple two-step approach involving a Clauson-Kaas reaction of a substituted ortho-allylaniline followed by acid-catalyzed regioselective intramolecular Friedel–Crafts alkylation of the resulting 1-(2-allylaryl)-1H-pyrroles. All the synthetized compounds were fully characterized by IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry.

Key words

pyrroles - quinolines - alkylation - heterocycles - cyclization

17 4-Methyl-4,5-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]quinolines 3a–h; General Procedure Concd H₂SO₄ (98%, 4 mmol) was added to a stirred and cooled solution of the appropriate 1-(2-allylaryl)pyrrole 2a–h (1 mmol) in CH₂Cl₂ (5 mL), and the mixture was stirred at 0 °C for 5–15 min (TLC). It was then poured onto ice-water (50 mL), neutralized to pH 7.5–8.0 with sat. aq Na₂CO₃, and extracted with CH₂Cl₂ (3 × 50 mL). The organic layers were combined, dried (Na₂SO₄), and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by column chromatography [silica gel, heptane–EtOAc (90:1 to 70:1)]. 4-Methyl-4,5-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoline (3a) Colorless viscous oil; yield: 58%; R_f = 0.38 (1% EtOAc–heptane).
