1,2-Disubstituted 4-Quinolones via Copper-Catalyzed Cyclization of 1-(2-Halophenyl)-2-en-3-amin-1-ones

Abstract

1,2-Disubstituted 4-quinolones have been prepared via copper-catalyzed heterocyclization of 1-(2-bromophenyl)- and 1-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-en-3-amin-1-ones, readily obtained from α,β-ynones and primary amines. The reaction tolerates a variety of useful functionalities including ester, keto, cyano, and chloro substituents. Quinolone derivatives can also be prepared via a sequential process from α,β-ynones and primary amines, omitting the isolation of the 1-(2-halophenyl)-2-en-3-amin-1-one intermediates.

In general, the use of copper catalysts proved superior to that of palladium catalysts in this reaction. For example, 2a was isolated in only 25% yield when 1a was subjected to Pd₂(dba)₃ (0.025 equiv), P(o-Tol)₃ (0.1 equiv), and Cs₂CO₃ (2 equiv) in toluene at 80 ˚C for 8 hours.

The enaminone derivative containing a 4-bromophenyl substituent (instead of the 2-halophenyl group in 1), and with R^¹ = n-Bu, R^² = Ph was recovered essentially unchanged after 8 hours when it was subjected to standard cyclization conditions.
