We describe a single-step conversion of various N-vinyl and N-aryl amides to the corresponding pyridine and quinoline derivatives, respectively. The process involves amide activation with trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride in the presence of 2-chloropyridine followed by π-nucleophile addition to the activated intermediate and annulation. Compatibility of this chemistry with sensitive N-vinyl amides, epimerizable substrates, and a variety of functional groups is noteworthy. Copyright

A new catalyst containing metallic ruthenium nanoparticles intercalated in hectorite (nanoRu'@hectorite) was found to catalyze the reduction of quinoline and quinoline derivatives by NaBH4in aqueous solution to give selectively the corresponding 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines (N-cycle hydrogenation). In most cases the reaction can be done under mild conditions (25–60 °C) without pressure equipment, conversion and selectivity being superior to 99%. In the case of sterically hindered derivatives, the reaction can be done in a pressure vessel under self-generated pressure (up to 9 bar). Isoquinoline and quinoxalines also undergo selective N-cycle hydrogenation, but 2-phenyl-quinoline is hydrogenated to give 2-phenyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline (C-cycle hydrogenation). Isotope labeling experiments combined with semi-empirical calculations of the electrostatic potentials support a heterolytic hydrogenation mechanism involving a hydride from NaBH4and a proton from H2O. The catalyst nanoRu'@hectorite can be recycled and reused.

Four cationic manganese(i) complexes, [(fac-NNHN)Mn(CO)3]Br (Mn-1-Mn-3) and [(fac-NNHS)Mn(CO)3]Br (Mn-4) (whereNNHis a 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-8-quinolinamine moiety), have been synthesized and evaluated as catalysts for the direct synthesis of quinolines and pyridines by the reaction of a γ-amino alcohol with a ketone or secondary alcohol;NNHS-ligatedMn-4proved the most effective of the four catalysts. The reactions proceeded well in the presence of catalyst loadings in the range 0.5-5.0 mol% and tolerated diverse functional groups such as alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkoxy, chloride and hetero-aryl. A mechanism involving acceptorless dehydrogenation coupling (ADC) has been proposed on the basis of DFT calculations and experimental evidence. Significantly, this manganese-based catalytic protocol provides a promising green and environmentally friendly route to a wide range of synthetically important substituted monocyclic, bicyclic as well as tricyclicN-heterocycles (including 50 quinoline and 26 pyridine examples) with isolated yields of up to 93%.
Synthesis of Pyridines, Quinolines, and Pyrimidines via Acceptorless Dehydrogenative Coupling Catalyzed by a Simple Bidentate P^ N Ligand Supported Ru Complex

A ruthenium hydrido chloride complex (1) supported by a simple, heteroleptic bidentate P^N ligand (L1) containing a diarylphosphine and a benzannulated phenanthridine donor arm is reported. In the presence of base, complex 1 catalyzes multicomponent reactions using alcohol precursors to produce structurally diverse molecules including pyridines, quinolines, and pyrimidines via acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling pathways. Notably, L1 does not bear readily (de)protonated Br?nsted acidic or basic groups common to transition metal catalysts capable of these sorts of transformations, suggesting metal-ligand cooperativity does not play a significant role in the catalytic reactivity of 1. A rare example of an η2-aldehyde adduct of ruthenium was isolated and structurally characterized, and its role in acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling reactions is discussed.
