| Sumario: | A convenient approach toward the indoloquinolines neocryptolepine and 6-methylquinindoline from
a common intermediate, is reported. Both sequences, designed for maximum use of accessible reagents
and robust conditions, are straightforward and efficient. They involved the amidation of 2-
aminobenzaldehyde (prepared by iron-mediated reduction of 2-nitrobenzaldehyde) with 2-
nitrophenylacetic acid, followed by a K2CO3-assisted cyclization to form a 3-(2-nitrophenyl)quinolin-2-
one as the common precursor. Me2CO3-mediated N-methylation of the lactam, reduction of the nitro
moiety and final cyclization resulted in 55% overall yield of neocryptolepine, whereas cyclocondensation
and N-methylation afforded 79% overall yield of 6-methyl quinindoline. Thus, the sequences toward the
targets entailed two POCl3-promoted C–N bond forming reactions, two Fe-mediated nitro group
reductions and two base-promoted transformations. |
