Abstract
A convenient method for the synthesis of hitherto unknown 3-bromomethyl-2-chloro-4-fluoromethylquinolines has been developed. Coupling of 3-bromomethyl-2-chloro-4-trifluo-romethylquinoline with 4(3H)-quinazolinone with subsequent intramolecular Heck cyclization leads to 7-trifluoromethylluotonin, an analog of the antitumor alkaloid luotonin A. 7-Trifluo-romethylluotonin retains the antitumor activity including apoptosis of cultured tumor cells and inhibiting DNA-topoisomerase I.
