Abstract

Reactions of 3-fluoro- (1a), 3-bromo- (1b), 3-methyl- (1c), 3-methoxy- (1d) and 3-acetamidoquinoline 1-oxides (1e) with acylating agents (POCl 3 , Ac 2 O, TsCl and PhCOCl) were examined (table). While only 2-substituted quinolines were obtained from 1a and 1b, fair amounts of 4-substituted products were formed in reactions of 1d, the sole formation of the 4-acetoxyquinoline (6) with Ac 2 O being the most significant result. 2-Chloroquinoline, 4-chloroquinolines and 2-tosyloxyquinolines were formed (and sometimes predominate) in addition to 2-quinolinones in reactions with TsCl
