General description

2-Bromobenzoic acid (2-BA) on condensation with aminoquinolines yields phenylquinolylamines. 2-BA is the common building block for synthesis of various nitrogen heterocycles.

Application

2-Bromobenzoic acid was used in the synthesis of new zinc(II) − 2-bromobenzoate complex compounds. It was used as the starting reagent in the synthesis of hemilabile benzimidazolyl phosphine ligands.

Condensation of either 2-bromobenzoic acid (4) or 2-chloro-3-nitrobenzoic acid (5) with suitable aminoquinolines 6-8 afforded phenylquinolylamines 9-13. Acid mediated cyclization gave the corresponding 12H-benzo[b][1,7]phenanthrolin-7-ones 14 and 15, and 12H-benzo[b][1,10]phenanthrolin-7-ones 16-18.
