Synthesis of N‐amino‐3‐hydroxy‐2‐phenyl‐4(1H)‐quinolinone

2‐[(Disubstituted‐methylene)‐hydrazino] benzoic acid phenacylesters 2a‐2d , prepared from anthranilic acid phenacylester 1 , were unsuccesfully tried as starting materials for the synthesis of N‐amino‐3‐hydroxy‐2‐phenyl‐4(1H)‐quinolinone 8 . The desired compound 8 was prepared by cyclization of N‐acetyl as well as N‐benzoyl‐hydrazinobenzoic acid phenacylester 6a or 6b in polyphosphoric acid to afford N‐acylamino‐3‐hydroxy‐2‐phenyl‐4(1H)‐quinolinone 7a or 7b , respectively. Surprisingly, the acyl group was resistant to attack by both hydrochloric acid as well as sodium hydroxide solution. It could be removed by boiling the compounds 7a or 7b respectively in 50% sulphuric acid to afford the the target compound 8 .     

The synthesis of symmetrical (2‐indolyl)ethynes and reduced congeners via palladium‐catalyzed couplings of 2‐bromoindole precursors

Starting from a series of 2‐bromo‐1‐methylindole precursors ( 1b‐e ) activated in the 3‐position with aldehyde, ester, or amide functionality, two approaches have been developed toward the synthesis of 2,2′‐bis(indolyl)ethynes and reduced congeners via palladium(0)‐ or palladium(II)‐catalyzed couplings. The first approach utilized Sonogashira coupling of (trimethylsilyl)acetylene to introduce the two‐carbon linker followed by desilylation and further coupling with starting 2‐bromoindole. A second shorter and more efficient route engaged the starting 2‐bromoindole in a double Stille coupling with bis(tributylstannyl) acetylene or (E)‐1,2‐bis(tributylstannyl)ethylene to provide desired homodimers in one step. Subsequent transformations of dimeric intermediates led to target acids 7a‐c and derived amides 8a‐c and 9 . When tested against a panel of tyrosine kinases, each target compound was found to be inactive.
