The organolithium and organomagneslum compounds are prepared and handled with relative ease in the laboratory. Another Im­ portant criterion of their usefulness is that they complement each other in the sense that where a certain organomagneslum compound cannot be prepared, the corresponding organolithium compound can be made in good yield. Of the very highly reactive types of organolithium com­ pounds which are capable of the halogen-metal Interconversion reaction, n-butylllthlum has been used most extensively in this reaction^. By use of the halogen-metal Interconversion reaction here­ tofore inaccessible organolithium compounds of quinoline and isoquinoline were obtained in good yields, such as 2- and 4-qulnolyl- and 1- and 4-isoquinolylllthium. Part of this work was an attempt to prepare some new 1-substituted isoqulnolines and 2-substltuted quinolines by the addition of some alkyl- and aryllithlum reagents to the anil linkage of isoquinoline and quinoline, respectively. "4l. G. Jones and H. Gilman In Adams "Organic Reactions Vol. jé>, New York, J. Wiley & Sons, Inc. 1951• 2 A second part of this Investigation was undertaken to pre­ pare some quinoline and isoquinoline derivatives which could be used as organic liquid scintillator solutes and to correlate the scintillator activity with the activity of closely related aza-aromatic he terocycles. The scintillator activity of these compounds was evaluated by Drs. Wright H. Langham, F. Newton Hayes and Donald G-. Ott of the Los Alamos Laboratories. A third phase of this work was to synthesize some quinollne- boronlc acid derivatives for possible use in brain tumor therapy. 3 HISTORICAL Introduction The historical section is devoted to a review of the chemical literature which concerned the organometalllc deriva­ tives of quinoline for the past twenty-five years and the organometaloid derivatives of quinoline for the past fifty years.

A small yield of 2-phenylquinoline was obtained when a mixture of magnesium, quinoline, bromobenzene, and toluene was heated on an oil bath at l40°, or when a mixture of phenyl- magnesium bromide, quinoline, and pyridine was refluxed for two p hours. In a later investigation Bergstrom and McAllister ob­ tained 2-phenylqulnollne in a yield of QQ% by autoclavlng an ethereal solution of quinoline and phenylmagneslum bromide at 150-160° for three hours. 7B.

Later work by Veer and Goldschmidt"^ demon­ strated that the 2-Isomer was not the product from this reac­ tion, but 4-benzylpyridlne was obtained. Bergmann and Rosenthal had been misled by the fact that both the 2- and 4-isomers formed picrates which melted at the same temperature. Veer and Goldschmidt employed Adams catalyst in dilute hydro­ chloric acid to reduce the 4-benzylpyridine and 2-benzylpyri­ dine to the corresponding piperidine derivatives. 2-Benzyl- pyridine gave rise solely to 2-benzylpiperidlne, but the 4-isomer gave both 4-benzylpiperidlne

    A NEW SYNTHESIS OF 1-BENZYL-1,2,3,4-TETRAHYDROISOQUINOLINE By L. W. DEADY,*N, H. PIRZADA,*R. D. TOPSOM,"and J. M. BOBBITT~ [Manuscript received 5 March 19731 Abstract The synthesis of N-(2-bromoethy1)-N-(1,2-diphenylethy1)ammoniumbromide and its aluminium chloride catalysed decomposition to 1-benzyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro- isoquinoline is described. We have recently reported convenient preparations of tetrahydroquinolinesl (m = 0, n = 3) and tetrahydroisoquinolines2 (m = 1, n = 2) by the cyclization of compounds of type (1). 1-Benzyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolineis the parent compound of an impor- tant class of alkaloids3 and methods of synthesis of this system are of considerable interest. Normally, the system has been prepared by ring closure between C 1 of the incipient isoquinoline and the aromatic ring, the so-called Bischler-Napieralski rea~tion,~although several new methods have been described and ~ummarized.~In theory, the ring system can be prepared by closure of C4 (as an aldehyde or blocked aldehyde) to the aromatic ring by a variation of the Pomeranz-Fritsch synthe~is,~,~ but there are several difficulties with intramolecular ring closures6 and only one successful synthesis has been reported.' In any case, such a synthesis results in oxygenation at C4 or some type of unsaturation in the isoquinoline ring. In this paper, we report a synthesis which is an extension of our previous work2 and which gives the tetrahydroisoquinoline ring directly in reasonable yield. Deoxybenzoin was used as the starting material in the synthesis of the required intermediate (2).

TAHA SUMMARY: Cyclization of 2-hydrazino-1, 3-benzothiazole, 2-hydrozinoquioline, 2-hydrazinolepidine, and 2-hydrazino-pyridine with one-carbon cyclizing agents such as triethyl orthoformate, ethyl chlorofor- mate, urea, phenylthiourea, and carbon disulfide gave 3-substituted-1,2,4-triazolo (3,4, -b) 1, 3-benzothia- zoles, 3-substituted-1,2,4-triazolo (4,3-a) quinolines, 3-substituted-1,2,4-triazolo (4,3-a) quinolines, 3-substituted-1,2,4-triazolo (4,3-a) lepidines and 3-substituted-1,2,4-triazolo (4,3-a) pyridines respectively. Reactions with acetic acid and acetic anhydride gave the corresponding acetyl hydrazines which were cyclized to the 3-methyl 1,2,4-triazolo-heterocyles. Ring closure with phenyl isocyanate and phenyl isothio- cyanate, gave the intermediate 4-phenylsemicarbazides and 4-phenylthiosemicarbazides which, upon fusion, afforded the corresponding 3-oxo- and 3-thioxo-1,2,4-triazolo-heterocyles. The 3-oxo-compounds were also obtained when 2-chloroquinoloni or 2-chlorolepidine was fused with semicarbazide hydrochloride. Key Words: Synthesis, amidrazones, triazolo-heterocycles.

Approximately 0.5 mole of 2, 4-dinitrophenol, 0.42 mole of 2- aminopyridine and 0.2 mole of 2- methoxy-5-nitroaniline, were treated separately with appropriate quantity of chloroacetic acid and sodium hydroxide pellets using nitrobenzene a high boiling liquid as solvent. The products that resulted: 2, 4- dinitrophenoxyacetic acid, pyridylglycine and 2-methoxy-5-nitrophenylglycine were purified using solvent extraction, activated carbon and column chromatography to reveal different amorphous powders in each case. Their structures were established by spectral analysis: ultraviolet spectroscopy (UV), infrared spectroscopy (IR), mass spectrometry (MS), proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-NMR) and carbon- 13 magnetic resonance spectroscopy (13C-NMR). Keywords: Analysis, Dye, Extraction, Intermediates, Precursors, Solvent I. Introduction The sources of organic raw materials for the synthetic dyes are mainly coal tar distillate from petroleum industry. These primary raw materials are benzene, toluene, o-, m- and p- xylenes naphthalenes anthracene etc [1]. A great variety of inorganic chemicals are also used as well.

  • Reactions of Aromatic Compounds Just Like an Alkene, Benzene Has Clouds of  Electrons Above and Below Its Sigma Bond Framework
    Reactions of Aromatic Compounds Just like an alkene, benzene has clouds of electrons above and below its sigma bond framework. Although the electrons are in a stable aromatic system, they are still available for reaction with strong electrophiles. This generates a carbocation which is resonance stabilized (but not aromatic). This cation is called a sigma complex because the electrophile is joined to the benzene ring through a new sigma bond. The sigma complex (also called an arenium ion) is not aromatic since it contains an sp3 carbon (which disrupts the required loop of p orbitals). Ch17 Reactions of Aromatic Compounds (landscape).docx Page1 The loss of aromaticity required to form the sigma complex explains the highly endothermic nature of the first step. (That is why we require strong electrophiles for reaction). The sigma complex wishes to regain its aromaticity, and it may do so by either a reversal of the first step (i.e. regenerate the starting material) or by loss of the proton on the sp3 carbon (leading to a substitution product). When a reaction proceeds this way, it is electrophilic aromatic substitution. There are a wide variety of electrophiles that can be introduced into a benzene ring in this way, and so electrophilic aromatic substitution is a very important method for the synthesis of substituted aromatic compounds. Ch17 Reactions of Aromatic Compounds (landscape).docx Page2 Bromination of Benzene Bromination follows the same general mechanism for the electrophilic aromatic substitution (EAS). Bromine itself is not electrophilic enough to react with benzene. But the addition of a strong Lewis acid (electron pair acceptor), such as FeBr3, catalyses the reaction, and leads to the substitution product.
