Abstract
Abstract This paper firstly describes the synthesis of a series of (Z)-4-((3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)amino)-1,1,1-trifluorobut-3-en-2-ones (3a–f) as well as 1-(1-((3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)amino)-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-2-yl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethanone (3g), from the O,N-exchange reaction of some 4-methoxy-4-alkyl(aryl)-1,1,1-trifluoroalk-3-en-2-ones (1) with 3-chloro-4-fluoroaniline (2), at 70–90% yields. Subsequently, in concentrated sulfuric acid, the enaminoketones 3 underwent a successful and regioselective intramolecular cyclocondensation reaction, which furnished a novel series of 2-alkyl(aryl)-7-chloro-6-fluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)-quinolines (4) at 70–85% yields. To demonstrate synthetic applicability through the Sonogashira coupling reaction for obtaining quinolines with potential antimicrobial activity, the synthesis of a novel series of 2-alkyl(aryl)-6-fluoro-7-(phenylethynyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)-quinolines (5) was performed, using quinolines 4 and phenylacetylene, via a regioselective Sonogashira coupling reaction (25–50% yield). Unfortunately, the new series of heterocycles 4 and 5 did not produce significant results against bacteria and fungi at the concentrations of 80–0.31 μg/mL.
