General description

8-Bromoquinoline is a quinolone derivative. It is widely employed for the synthesis of dyes, food colors, pharmaceutical reagents, pH indicators and in various industrial processes. Its molecule bears a pyridyl group. It undergoes direct heteroarylation reaction with various heteroaromatic compounds in the presence of a palladium catalyst to afford polyheteroaromatic derivatives.

Application

8-Bromoquinoline may be used in the following studies:
  • Synthesis of 8-(dimesitylboryl)quinolone (ambiphilic molecule).
  • Direct synthesis of 5H-pyrido[3,2,1-ij]quinolin-3-one, via palladium catalyzed coupling reaction with acrolein.
  • Preparation of 8-(1-hydroxyethyl)quinolone.
  • Preparation of 8-quinolylcyclopentadienyl metal complexes, via reaction with zincated cyclopentadienyl derivatives of Fe, Mn and Re in the presence of bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0).
  • Synthesis of n,n′-biquinolines by a coupling reaction using tris(triphenylphosphine)nickel(0) and a zerovalent pyridine-nickel complex.

The ambiphilic molecule 8-(dimesitylboryl)quinoline (1) was synthesized by treatment of 8-bromoquinoline or 8-iodoquinoline with n-BuLi followed by dimesitylboronfluoride. Hydrolysis of 1 is unusually rapid compared to bulky triorganoboranes with the sequential loss of mesitylene and formation of mesityl(quinolin-8-yl)borinic acid (2)
