Abstract

Abstract 2-, 3-and 4-Chloroquinolines were selectively lithiated at low temperature by lithium diisopropylamide at the more acidic C-3, C-4 and C-3 positions respectively. Reaction of 2- chloro-3-lithioquinoline with electrophiles led to various 2, 3-disubsthuted quinolines. The versatility of this functionalization methodology is enhanced by the C-2 halogen reactivity towards oxygen or nitrogen nucleophiles. So, a great variety of 2, 3-di-substituted ...
