A CONVENIENT PREPARATION OF 4,8-DIMETHOXY-3-SUBSTITUTED-2(1H)-QUINOLONES BY AN ELECTROPHILIC REACTION THROUGH BASE-INDUCED DEPROTONATION AND ITS SYNTHETIC APPLICATION FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF NEW ALKALOIDS, 3,4,8-TRIMETHOXY-2(1H)-QUINOLONE AND 3-FORMYL-4,7,8-TRIMETHOXY-2(1H)-QUINOLONE (GLYCOCITRIDINE)
Y. Tagawa et al., A CONVENIENT PREPARATION OF 4,8-DIMETHOXY-3-SUBSTITUTED-2(1H)-QUINOLONES BY AN ELECTROPHILIC REACTION THROUGH BASE-INDUCED DEPROTONATION AND ITS SYNTHETIC APPLICATION FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF NEW ALKALOIDS, 3,4,8-TRIMETHOXY-2(1H)-QUINOLONE AND 3-FORMYL-4,7,8-TRIMETHOXY-2(1H)-QUINOLONE (GLYCOCITRIDINE), Journal of heterocyclic chemistry, 34(6), 1997, pp. 1677-1683
Some 4,8-dimethoxy-3-substituted-2(1H)-quinolones were prepared by ele
ctrophilic reaction of 4,8-dimethoxy-2(1H)-quinolone with electrophile
s in the presence of -butyllithium-N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamin
e in fairly good yields. This present method was successfully applied
for the synthesis of two new alkaloids bearing the 4,8-dimethoxy-2(1H)
-quinolone skeleton.
