Robust synthesis of linear and angular furoquinolines using Rap–Stoermer reaction

  • Published:
Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

We have synthesized novel linear and angular furoquinolines via the Rap–Stoermer reaction by conventional as well as microwave method that furnished an enhanced yield. Initially, we synthesized linear furo[2,3-b]quinolines from 3-acetyl-6-chloro-4-phenyl-1H-quinolin-2-one and three different α-halocarbonyl compounds: chloroacetophenone, ethyl chloroacetate, and chloroacetamide. The scope of the methodology was further extended to the synthesis of angular furo[3,2-c]quinolines by utilizing 3-acetyl-4-hydroxy-1-methyl-1H-quinolin-2-one and α-halocarbonyl compounds.
