Allenes. Part 49. 4-Amino-2-(1-hydroxyalkyl)quinolines from phenylhydroxylamine and allenic nitrites

Abstract

Allenic nitriles, when heated with phenylhydroxylamine in ethanol for 24 h, form the intermediate 2-alkylidene-4-amino-1,2-dihydro-1-hydroxyquinolines (4) which rearrange spontaneously by a 1,3-hydroxy shift to 4-amino-2-(1-hydroxyalkyl)quinolines. The 1-hydroxyquinoline intermediate (4) does not isomerise to 2-alkyl-4-aminoquinoline 1-oxide by a 1,4-proton shift as shown by an independent synthesis of the latter. Phenylpropynenitrile with phenylhydroxylamine gave 8% of 4-amino-2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)quinoline (15).
