Abstract

Cyclization of 2-(3-hydroxyphenyl) ethyl ketone O-2, 4-dinitrophenyloximes proceeds on the oxime nitrogen atom by the treatment with NaH and then with 2, 3-dichloro-5, 6-dicyano-p- benzoquinone and acetic acid to yield quinolin-8-ols regioselectively. The reaction in the presence of Na [BH 3 (CN)] affords 1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydroquinolin-8-ols. The present cyclization proceeds via alkylideneaminyl radical intermediates generated by the single ...
