Abstract
Herein, we report a method for the regioselective alkylation and phosphonation of quinoline C4–H via a B3H7-mediated nucleophilic addition of Turbo Grignard reagents and phosphine oxide anions to quinolines bearing different substituents, affording the 4-alkyl and 4-phosphoryl quinolines and tetrahydroquinolines after one-pot oxidation or reduction. The results indicate that coordination of the B3H7 group can activate substrates toward a potential 1,4-dearomative addition and subtly control the regioselectivity by preventing the 1,2-dearomative addition.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
