Abstract: | 7H-Indolo2,3-c]quinoline has been synthesized in two steps via a new approach starting from commercially available 3-bromoquinoline and 2-bromoaniline. The new methodology consists of two consecutive palladium-catalyzed reactions: a selective Buchwald/Hartwig amination followed by an intramolecular Heck-type reaction. Alternatively, the same skeleton has also been prepared via the combination of a Suzuki arylation with an intramolecular nitrene insertion starting from 4-chloroquinoline and {2-(2,2-dimethylpropanoyl)amino]phenyl}boronic acid. Selective methylation of 7H-indolo2,3-c]quinoline yielded 5-methyl-5H-indolo2,3-c]quinoline (Isoneocryptolepine) which is an interesting new lead compound in the search for new antiplasmodial drugs. |
