Abstract

Six 4-substituted quinolones 6–8, which bear an ω-iodoalkyl chain, were prepared and subjected to reductive radical cyclisation conditions employing BEt3/O2 as the initiator and either Bu3SnH or TMS3SiH as hydride source. 4-(4-Iodobutyl)-quinolone (6a) and 4-(3- iodopropylthio)-quinolone (8a) gave the respective 6-endo-cyclisation products in good yields. 4-(3, 3-Dimethyl-4-iodobutyl)-quinolone (6b) cyclised in a 5-exo-fashion, while the ...
