ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis of Quinolines Involving Electrophilic Amination of Arenes with Sodium Azide in Polyphosphoric Acid.

Abstract

Acid. -Using the reagent combination sodium azide/polyphosphoric acid, this one-pot, consecutive reaction of sodium azide and dicarbonyl compounds (II) with an aromatic compound (I) affords the quinolines (III) in low to moderate yields. A reaction mechanism of this transformation is proposed. -(LYAKHOVNENKO, A. S.; KUGUTOV, M. M.; AKSENOV*, A. V.; Russ. Chem.
