Copper-Catalyzed One-Pot N-Acylation and C5-H Halogenation of 8-Aminoquinolines: the Dual Role of Acyl Halides Yi Du,a Yunyun Liu,* Jie-Ping Wan* College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Jiangxi Normal University, Nanchang 330022, China E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected]

Abstract The synthesis of N-acyl-5-halo-8-aminoquinolines has been realized by directly employing 8-aminoquinolines and acyl halides (Cl, Br, I) with copper catalysis. The construction of the target products involves in domino N-acylation and C5-H halogenations of the 8-aminoquinoline wherein the acyl halides act as the donors of both acyl and halide atom, which enables the first access to the step efficient synthesis of 5-halogenated N-acyl quinlolines. Quinoline is a heterocyclic moiety of strategic importance because of the ubiquitous utilities of quinoline derivatives in pharmaceutical chemistry, drug discovery, clinic medicine, fine organic synthesis and meterials science etc.1 Therefore, exploring the synthetic approaches of quinolines with diverse substructures 1

represents crucial task.2 Generally, the major known methodologies toward the synthesis of quinolines can be divided into two different prototypes: the synthesis involving the quinoline ring construction and the direct elaboration on simple quinoline ring. While both tactics contributed indispensably to the development of quinoline chemistry, the latter one has in recent years attracted extensive attention due to the occurrence of those efficient quinoline C-H bond activation reactions. Most notably, the direct C5-H functionalization of quinolines has witnessed spectacular progress, and the functionalization of this C-H bond forging both new C-C3 and C-heteroatom4 bonds has won great success. Among the research works on quinoline C5-H functionalization, extraordinary efforts have been made in the C-H halogenation reaction with the assistance of an amide directing group. Ertem and Stahl firstly observed and analyzed the single electron transfer (SET)-based C-5 chlorination of 8-amidoquinoline.5 Later on, a number of catalytic methods employing various halogen sources have been successively reported, including the halogenation using NXS (X = Cl, Br or I) with transition metal-catalysis,6 the transition metal-free oxidative C-H halogenation using NXS,7 transition metal-catalyzed reactions using halide salts,8 transition metal-free oxidative C-H halogenation using halide salts,9 and the C-H iodination using molecular idodine.10 Despite these noticeable advances, two major challenges remain to overcome. The first one is that the 8-amido quinolines substrates need to be prior prepared by the N-acylation of commercial 8-aminoquinoline; the second one is that additional halogen source (NXS, metal halides, iodine and other halogen reagents) are 2

mandatory for all the known methods of such halogenation (A, Scheme 1). The additional chemical consumption resulting from the intermediate purification, different halogen sources as well as the chemical wastes resulting from these operations are against the criteria of sustainable synthesis. Considering the significance of establishing more efficient arene C-H halogenation reactions,11 developing alternative methods which can overcome one or more of the limits is highly desirable for 5-halo-8-amidoquinolien synthesis. Acyl halides (mainly chlorides) are simple and widespread utilized reagents, their application mainly focuses on the utility as acylating reagents toward both C-H12, heteroatom-H,13 and C-heteroatom bonds.14 In addition, some protocols involving cascade bond transformations on the acyl chloride are also known.15 In all these reactions, the chlorine atom in the acyl chloride is released after reaction as either hydrochloric acid or chloride salt without showing application in the construction of the products. Therefore, probing new synthetic application of the acyl halides as the donor of halogen source is quite interesting. Herein, we report the first example on the one-step synthesis of 5-halogenated N-acyl 8-aminoquinolines via the reactions of 8-aminoquinolines and acyl halides through tandem N-acylation and C-H halogenation wherein the acyl halides act as both the acylating and halogenating reagents (B, Scheme 1).

To start the work, the reaction of 8-aminoquinoline 1a and n-butyryl chloride 2a was tentatively run in the presence of CuO. Fortunately, this entry in toluene gave the 5-chlorinated aminoquinoline 3a with good yield (entry 1, Table 1). When Cu(OAc)2 was employed, lower yield of 3a was found (entry 2, Table 1). In addition, using CuBr2 as catalyst resulted in the formation of mixed chlorinated and brominated products (see Eq 6 in the control experiment). Notably, utilizing base additive of different potency all led to the inhibition of the target transformation and only the amide intermediate from amidation of 2a was observed (entries 3-6, Table 1), probably because of the negative effect of a base to the generation of reactive CuX2 by neutralizing the in situ produced acid HX (see also the mechanism in Scheme 2). Furthermore, in the reactions conducted in different media, xylene was identified as the most appropriate candidate (entries 7-11, Table 1). While no enhanced yield of 3a was observed in the entries with different catalyst loadings (entries 12-13, Table 1), the reaction run at higher temperature led to slight increase of the product yield (entries 14-16, Table 1). Successively, the effects of acid additive and acyl chloride loading to the reaction were investigated, and no improvement was observed (entries 17-19, Table 1). An entry conducted under nitrogen provided 3a with 32% yield, suggesting that air was important for the reaction (entry 20, Table 1). Finally, a control 4

Moreover, no formation of Cl2 was observed on the optimized model reaction with the examination by AgNO3 solution. Table 1. Optimization of reaction conditionsa

In the section of scope investigation, different acyl chlorides were firstly subjected for the synthesis. Notably, both linear and branched alkyl functionalized acyl chlorides exhibited fine tolerance to the synthesis of corresponding products with good to excellent yield (3a-3f, Table 2). In addition, benzoyl chlorides containing various substituents in the phenyl ring also smoothly took part in the titled synthesis (3g-3n, Table 2). Moreover, the successful synthesis of products 3o-3q and 3r using phenylacetyl chlorides and heteroaroyl chloride as starting materials further confirmed the general applicability of the acyl chloride component in this synthetic approach. Delightfully, synthesis of 5-brominated quinoline product 3t could also be easily accessed by simply utilizing acyl bromide. The yield of the product was lower possibly becausethat acyl bromide was more sensitive to moisture. Actually, the expected synthesis of corresponding brominated product was not successful under the present reaction condition when acetyl bromide or α-bromoacetyl bromide was used, respectively. As for the synthesis of 5-iodo-8-amidoquinoline, because of the low stability of the acyl iodide, a one-pot procedure allowing in situ generation of acyl 6

iodide and subsequent reaction without isolating the acyl iodide was designed and conducted. Firstly, the acyl iodide was prepared following literature process,16 and the acyl iodide generated therein was directly subjected to the standard condition with 1a. As expected, 5-iodinated product 3u was readily acquired with fair yield (Eq 1). On the basis of these entries, the reactions employing non-aromatic amines instead of 8-aminoquinoline was also attempted. However, only the amides resulting from the amidation of acyl chloride were observed when aniline and 1-aminonaphthalene was employed, respectively.

To gain information on the possible process of the C-H chlorination, some control experiments were then executed. Firstly, the direct employment of N-benzoyl 8-aminoquinoline 4 and benzoyl chloride gave target product 3g with good yield under the standard conditions (Eq 2). This result as well as the known literatures on similar N-amidoquinoline C-5 halogenation supported that 4 was the key intermediate in the reaction. On the other hand, the reaction of 4 with stoichiometric NaCl didn’t provide the chlorinated product (Eq 3), identical consequence occurred even when Me4NCl (1 equiv) and water (0.5 mL) were additionally employed. However, using 1 equiv 37% concentrated hydrochloric acid as the source of chlorine gave 3g with fair yield (Eq 4), suggesting that the acidic conditions was important in enabling the C-H halogenation. Much lower product yield was afforded by the same reaction in the presence of 1 equiv phase transfer reagent Me4Cl. Utilizing CuCl2 as the chlorine source to reaction with amide 4 did provide product 3g with fair yield, implying that the halogen anion in the copper(II) salt could also act as the source of halogen in the target product (Eq 5). Actually, performing the model reaction using CuBr2 as catalyst resulting in the production of mixed chlorinated and brominated products, further confirmed this conclusion (Eq 6). On the other hand, employing CuCl2 as catalyst for the reaction of propionyl bromide gave main the brominated product, albeit in low yield (Eq 7). The result form this reaction indicated that the halogen anion in the acyl halide was much more active halogen source, and the low yield might be ascribed to the inferior catalytic activity of CuCl2 by getting transformed in the less reactive CuBr2. A reaction employing directly 8-aminoquinoline 1a and CuCl2 in the presence 8

of CuO didn’t give chlorinated product 5a (Eq 8), implying that that the aryl C-H halogenation might not be the first transformation step.

Following the information provided by the control experiments, a plausible mechanism for the reactions providing N-acyl 5-halo-8-aminoquinolines is proposed and outlined in Scheme 2. At the beginning, the N-acyl 8-aminoquinoline 4 is generated via the reaction of 8-aminoquinoline 1 and acycl halide 2, the simultaneously generated acid may convert the CuO catalyst into CuX2 which can easily couple 4 to give Cu(II) complex A.8c, f The intramolecular SET on A then provides Cu(I) species B containing reactive halogen anion via analogous process in literature.11a The migration of the X- to the C-5 position gives rise to Cu(I) radical C, and the decomposition of

C may produce the product 3, Cu(I) and hydrogen radical.

The aerobic oxidation on the resulting Cu(I) regenerates Cu(II) which can both take part in the repeated catalytic cycle and get reduced to Cu(I) by incorporating the hydrogen radical. Scheme 2 The proposed reaction mechanism

In conclusion, we have developed for the first time a step efficient route to the synthesis of N-acylated 5-halo-8-aminoquinolines via the direct reactions of 8-aminoquinolines and acyl halides. The synthetic reactions proceeds well via the catalysis of CuO without using additional halogen source, and show general tolerance to acyl halide (Cl, Br and I). In addition, not any ligand, oxidant, acid or base additive is required. Owing to these unique advantages, the present method can thus be a useful complement to the known synthesis of 5-halogenated quinoline scaffolds.

Procedure for the synthesis of product 3u

The the i-pentoyl chloride (0.4 mmol) and NaI (0.48 mmol) were employed in a sealed round bottom flask stirred for 10 min at rt. When the acyl chlorides completely converted into acyl iodides, the colourless reaction mixtures were turned to dark yellow.1 The 8-aminoquinoline 1 (0.2 mmol), CuO (0.08 mmol) and xylene (2 mL) were then added to the vessel. The expected product 3t was acquired by subsequent treatment following the procedure in the synthesis of 3a-3t. N-(5-Iodoquinolin-8-yl)-3-methylbutanamide (3u).
