We
developed a one-pot, two-stage synthetic route to substituted
4-aminoquinolines involving an imidoylative Sonogashira coupling followed
by acid-mediated cyclization. This three-component reaction affords
pharmaceutically valuable 4-aminoquinolines in a one-pot procedure
from readily available starting materials. The reaction tolerates
various substituents on the arene as well as the use of secondary
and even primary isocyanides. Additionally, the wide tolerance for
functionalized isocyanides allows for the one-pot synthesis of various
substituted chloroquine analogues as well as other medicinally relevant
products.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
