Abstract

Reaction of 5-mercaptoquinoline with phenylacetylene (KOH, dioxane, 160–170° C, 1 h, autoclave) gives (along with the normal adduct Z-5-styrylthioquinoline) 3-phenylthiopyrano [4, 3, 2-d, e] quinoline, the product of a unique intramolecular nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen by carbanion at position 4 of the quinoline ring.
