摘要
9H-alpha-Carbolines have been prepared via consecutive intermolecular Buchwald-Hartwig reaction and Pd-catalyzed intramolecular direct arylation from commercially available 2,3-dichloropyridines and substituted anilines. The combination of a high reaction temperature (180 degrees C) and the use of DBU were found to be crucial for the intramolecular direct arylation reactions of the 3-cliloro-N-phenylpyridin-2-amines as no reaction was observed at 120 degrees C and 180 degrees C using different inorganic and other organic bases. On the other hand, nitrogenmethylated pyridine analogues of these substrates {N-[3-chloro-l-methylpyridin-2(1H)-ylidene]anilines} do undergo ring closure at 120 degrees C, with K3PO4 as base, affording the respective 1-methyl-1H-alpha-carbolines in good yields.
