Abstract
CuMgMn layered double hydroxide (LDH) has been developed as a multifunctional catalyst for the efficient synthesis of quinolines employing o-aminobenzyl alcohol and methyl ketone as substrates. Quinolines are produced through cascade reactions that include oxidative dehydrogenation, coupling and cyclization. Control experiments demonstrated that CuMgMn-LDH can accelerate all three reactions without any additives. Specifically, Mn species were identified as the catalytically active site for the oxidative dehydrogenation, while Cu species were found to be responsible for the coupling and cyclization reactions. Consequently, an effective and convenient protocol based on CuMgMn-LDH for the construction of quinoline skeleton has been developed. Various o-aminobenzyl alcohols and methyl ketones can be well tolerated by the methodology. The catalytic system also demonstrates excellent catalytical and structural stability, as well as recyclability.
期刊介绍:
Tetrahedron publishes full accounts of research having outstanding significance in the broad field of organic chemistry and its related disciplines, such as organic materials and bio-organic chemistry.
Regular papers in Tetrahedron are expected to represent detailed accounts of an original study having substantially greater scope and details than that found in a communication, as published in Tetrahedron Letters.
Tetrahedron also publishes thematic collections of papers as special issues and ''Reports'', commissioned in-depth reviews providing a comprehensive overview of a research area.
