Synthesis and Elimination Pathways of 1-Methanesulfonyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline Sulfonamides.

ABSTRACT: A series of new Morita-Baylis-Hillman acetates were prepared and reacted with methanesulfonamide (K₂CO₃, DMF, 23 °C) to produce tertiary dihydroquinoline sulfonamides in high yields. Subsequent efforts to eliminate the methylsulfonyl group from these derivatives (K₂CO₃, DMF, 90 °C) as a route to quinolines were met with mixed results. Although dihydroquinoline sulfonamides prepared from ethyl acrylate and acrylonitrile generally underwent elimination to give excellent yields of quinolines, those generated from 3-buten-2-one failed to undergo elimination and instead decomposed. The failure of these ketone substrates to aromatize presumably derives from the enolizable methyl ketone at C-3. Finally, the attempted aromatization of the acrylate-derive
