This paper describes a visible-light-mediated oxidative cyclization of 2-aminobenzyl alcohols and secondary alcohols to produce quinolines at room temperature. This photocatalytic method employed anthraquinone as an organic small-molecule catalyst and DMSO as an oxidant. According to this present procedure, a series of quinolines were prepared in satisfactory yields.

Herein we report an exclusively ligand-centered redox controlled approach for the dehydrogenation of a variety of N-heterocycles using a Zn(II)-stabilized azo-anion radical complex as the catalyst. A simple, easy-to-prepare, and bench-stable Zn(II)-complex (1b) featuring the tridentate arylazo pincer, 2-((4-chlorophenyl)diazenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline, in the presence of zinc-dust, undergoes reduction to form the azo-anion radical species [1b]- which efficiently dehydrogenates various saturated N-heterocycles such as 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-methylquinoline, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-isoquinoline, indoline, 2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzoimidazole, 2,3-dihydro-2-phenylquinazolin-4(1H)-one, and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-phenylquinazolines, among others, under air. The catalyst has further been found to be compatible with the cascade synthesis of these N-heterocycles via dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols with other suitable coupling partners under air. Mechanistic investigation reveals that the dehydrogenation reactions proceed via a one-electron hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) pathway where the zinc-stabilized azo-anion radical ligand abstracts the hydrogen atom from the organic substrate(s), and the whole catalytic cycle proceeds via the exclusive involvement of the ligand-centered redox events where the zinc acts only as the template.
Pd-Catalyzed Tandem Reaction of 2-Aminostyryl Nitriles with Arylboronic Acids: Synthesis of 2-Arylquinolines

A novel palladium-catalyzed protocol for the synthesis of 2-arylquinolines via tandem reaction of 2-aminostyryl nitriles with arylboronic acids has been developed with good functional group tolerance. The presented approach offers a new synthetic pathway toward the core structures of 2-arylquinolines compared to classical condensation reaction of (E)-2-aminostyryl aryl ketones. Moreover, the present synthetic route could be readily scaled up to gram quantity without difficulty. Preliminary mechanistic experiments showed that this transformation involves a nucleophilic addition of aryl palladium species to the nitrile to generate an aryl ketone intermediate followed by an intramolecular cyclization and dehydration to quinoline ring.
