J. Koyama et al., DIELS-ALDER REACTION OF 1,2,3-BENZOTRIAZINE WITH ENAMINE - APPLICATION TO THE SYNTHESIS OF ALKALOIDS, 2-PROPYLQUINOLINE AND 2-PENTYLQUINOLINE, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 46(2), 1998, pp. 332-334
The Diels-Alder reaction of 1,2,3-benzotriazine with several pyrrolidi
ne enamines of carbonyl compounds was carried out in chloroform in the
presence of zinc bromide to afford 2- or 3-mono-, or 2,3-disubstitute
d quinolines. This method was applied to the synthesis of the alkaloid
s, 2-propylquinoline and 2-pentylquinoline.
