Abstract

A concise and efficient aerobic oxidation and oxygenation approach for the construction of 2-aroylquinolines has been developed through copper-catalyzed annulation of anilines, acetaldehydes, and dioxygen. 2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl was employed to direct the selectivity toward the desired 2-aroyl products. Molecular oxygen was used in this transformation as an environmentally benign source of oxygen.

The mixture was stirred at 100 °C for 12 h then cooled to r.t. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc, washed with sat. aq NaHCO3, water, and brine, dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated in vacuo to give dark residue that was purified by flash chromatography [silica gel, PE–EtOAc (50:1 to 30:1)] to give an off-white oil; yield: 55 mg (71%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 8.28 (s, 1 H), 8.19 (d, J = 8.4 Hz, 1 H), 7.86–7.94 (m, 3 H), 7.76–7.80 (m, 1 H), 7.64–7.68 (m, 1 H), 7.52–7.56 (m, 1 H), 7.38–7.41 (m, 4 H), 7.30–7.33 (m, 3 H). 13C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 195.1, 156.3, 146.1, 137.7, 137.2, 136.2, 134.1, 133.5, 130.5, 130.1, 129.7, 129.0, 128.6, 128.4, 128.1, 128.0, 127.9, 127.8.
