Intramolecular cyclization of β,β-difluorostyrenes bearing an iminomethyl or a diazenyl group at the ortho position: synthesis of 3-fluorinated isoquinoline and cinnoline derivatives

Abstract

o-Formyl-substituted β,β-difluorostyrenes readily react with NH2OH·HCl or NH4OAc to afford 3-fluoroisoquinoline derivatives in good yield via (i) the formation of the corresponding oximes or imines and (ii) subsequent intramolecular replacement of a vinylic fluorine by the sp2 nitrogen of the iminomethyl group (HON[double bond, length as m-dash]CH– or HN[double bond, length as m-dash]CH–). β,β-Difluorostyrenes bearing an o-diazenyl group (HN[double bond, length as m-dash]N–), generated by reduction of the corresponding diazonium ions, undergo a similar substitution to afford 3-fluorinated cinnolines.
