8-Aminoquinolines are useful molecular motifs for ion sensors. To encourage chemosensor development, new building blocks containing these motifs are essential. 8-Aminoquinoline-2-carbaldehydes are proposed as useful building blocks since their aldehyde group offers the possibility for further transformations. We present a general method for the preparation of these compounds starting from commercially available 8-bromo-2methylquinoline. Different sidechains for fine-tuning their affinity and selectivity were introduced by a microwave-aided N-arylation using Pd(0) and P-ligands; the desired products were achieved by oxidation. An alternative method is also presented when the product shows high affinity towards the catalyst limiting the effectiveness of the Pd-catalysed the N-arylation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
