Gold-catalyzed dual annulation of azide-tethered alkynes with nitriles: expeditious synthesis of oxazolo[4,5-c]quinolines

A gold-catalyzed dual annulation of azide-tethered internal alkynes, which provides convenient access to quinoline derivatives, has been reported.

Synthesis of 4-quinolones, benzopyran derivatives and other fused systems based on the domino ANRORC reactions of (ortho-fluoro)-3-benzoylchromones

This method provides a valuable one-pot shortcut for the synthesis of 4-quinolones, benzopyran derivatives and other fused systems from (ortho-fluoro)-3-benzoylchromones.

Novel Schiff bases based on the quinolinone skeleton: syntheses, X-ray structures and fluorescent properties

A series of a new type of Schiff bases 1-7, derived from 2-phenyl-3-amino-4(1H)-quinolinone and R-salicyladehyde derivatives wherein R = 3-hydroxy (1), 3,4-dihydroxy (2), 3-methoxy (3), 3-carboxy (4), 3-allyl (5), 5-chloro (6), and 5-nitro (7), was synthesized and structurally characterized. Each of the molecules 1, 3 and 7 consists of three planar moieties (i.e., a quinolinone and two phenyl rings), which are mutually oriented differently depending on the appropriate substituent R and the extent of non-covalent contacts stabilizing the crystal structures. The compounds were studied for their fluorescence properties, where compound 6 yielded the strongest intensity both in the solid phase and in 100 μM ethanol solution with a quantum yield of φ = 3.6% as compared to quinine sulfate used as a standard. The in vitro cytotoxicity of these compounds was tested against the human osteosarcoma (HOS) and breast adenocarcinoma (MCF7) cell lines, revealing no activity up to the concentration of 50 µM.

Solid-phase synthesis of trisubstituted benzo[1,4]-diazepin-5-one derivatives

Solid-phase synthesis of 3,4-dihydro-benzo[e][1,4]diazepin-5-ones with three diversity positions is described. Various primary amines were used as the starting material and immobilized on the polystyrene resin equipped with different acid-labile linkers. Polymer-supported amines were converted to α-aminoketones with the use of their sulfonylation with the 4-nitrobenzensulfonylchoride (4-Nos-Cl) and subsequent alkylation with α-bromoketones. After the cleavage of the 4-Nos group, the corresponding α-aminoketones were acylated with various o-nitrobenzoic acids. Reduction of the nitro group followed by spontaneous on-resin ring closure gave the target immobilized benzodiazepines. After acid-mediated cleavage the products were obtained in very good crude purity and satisfactory yields, which makes the developed method applicable for simple library synthesis of the corresponding derivatives in a combinatorial fashion.

Efficient solid-phase synthesis of 2-substituted-3-hydroxy-4(1H)-quinolinone-7-carboxamides with two diversity positions

A highly efficient solid-phase synthesis of 2-substituted-3-hydroxy-4(1H)-quinolinone-7-carboxamides was developed using anthranilates and bromoketones as the key synthons. Primary amines immobilized to an acid-cleavable BAL linker were acylated with 1-methyl-2-aminoterephtalate. After cleavage of the methyl ester, bromoketones were used to form resin-bound phenacyl esters. Acid-mediated cleavage and subsequent cyclization in solution afforded 3-hydroxy-4(1H)-quinolinones in high purity and yield. Highly efficient solid-phase synthesis (purity>90%, yield>80%, synthetic time=2 days using commercially available synthons) is amenable to high-throughput/combinatorial synthesis to match the high-throughput screening capability.
