Regiospecific Three-Component Access to Fluorescent 2,4-Disubstituted Quinolines via One-Pot Coupling-Addition-Cyclocondensation-Sulfur Extrusion Sequence

2,4‐Di‐ and 2,4,7‐trisubstituted quinolines are readily synthesized in a regioselective fashion from acyl chlorides, terminal alkynes, and 2‐aminothiophenols by a consecutive, microwave‐assisted one‐pot three‐component Sonogashira coupling‐Michael addition–cyclocondensation sequence and following su...

Description
Summary:2,4‐Di‐ and 2,4,7‐trisubstituted quinolines are readily synthesized in a regioselective fashion from acyl chlorides, terminal alkynes, and 2‐aminothiophenols by a consecutive, microwave‐assisted one‐pot three‐component Sonogashira coupling‐Michael addition–cyclocondensation sequence and following sulfur extrusion in moderate to good yields. The terminal sulfur extrusion step was studied by DFT computations. The absorption spectra of 2,4‐disubstituted quinolines can be rationalized by DFT‐ZINDO‐CI calculations and all derivatives show intense blue emission upon UV excitation. 2,4‐Di‐ and 2,4,7‐trisubstituted quinolines are readily synthesized from acyl chlorides, terminal alkynes, and 2‐aminothiophenols by a consecutive, microwave‐assisted one‐pot three‐component coupling–cyclocondensation–sulfur extrusion sequence. The quinolines display intense blue fluorescence and their spectral properties can be rationalized by rapid DFT‐ZINDO‐CI calculations.
