F. Palacios et al., A SIMPLE STRATEGY FOR THE PREPARATION OF 4-AMINOQUINOLINES FROM BETA-FUNCTIONALIZED ENAMINES, Tetrahedron, 54(8), 1998, pp. 1647-1656
An easy and efficient synthesis of 4-aminoquinolines substituted with
a phosphine oxide group in the 3-position 1, is described. The key ste
p is a heterocyclization of cyano-aryl beta-enamino phosphine oxides 4
. The treatment of beta-enamines derived from phosphonium salts 7, wit
h a base afforded phosphazenes 8 and the hydrolysis of these phosphaze
nes led to the formation of substituted 4-aminoquinolines 9. (C) 1998
