Metal-Free Synthesis of Functionalized Quinolines from 2-Styrylanilines and 2-Methylbenzothiazoles/2-Methylquinolines.

ABSTRACT: A facile functionalization of C(sp³)-H bonds and tandem cyclization strategy to synthesize quinoline derivatives from 2-methylbenzothiazoles or 2-methylquinolines and 2-styrylanilines has been developed. This work avoids the requirement for transition metals, offering a mild approach to activation of C(sp³)-H bonds and formation of new C-C and C-N bonds. This strategy features excellent functional group tolerance and scaled-up synthetic capability, thus providing an efficient and environmentally friendly access to medicinally valuable quinolines.
