Hetero cyclic Analogues of Naphthalene with one heteroatom

The most investigated compound of this group contain a nitrogen atom , and theoretically can be drived from naphthalene by the substation of carbon or carbon and hydrogen atoms by a nitrogen atom .The same result can be obtained by fusing a benzene on to that of pyridine and three structure result .Derivative of all three ring system 1 , 2 , 3 occure naturally in the form of alkaloide N Quinoline N isoquinoline N + Quinolizinium (1) (2) (3) lec 9 1

These three type of compound are essentially aromatic in character .The oxygen analogues of naphthalene which will be considered here are those derived from benzopyrylium cation (4) and benzopyranes (5) and (6) derivatives of these systems occure widely in plants and the anthocyanins. subistituted benzopyrylium salt are responsible for most red and blue flower coloure .very few sulphur analogues are known and at present they are not of general interest .

Physical properties and structure

Quinoline is a colourless liquid its b.p 237 cº it's miscible with most organic solvent ,its useful high – boiling solvent for many types of organic compound .The structure for quinoline was first proposed by korner ,and was supported at an early stage by an oxidation to quinolinic acid (2) and by several syntheses of which Friedlander's is shown .

Chemical reaction

1 – basicity

Quinoline is a slightly weaker base than pyridine and form many salt which sparingly soluble in water .

Oxidation :

Oxidation of quinoline opens the ring giving quinolinic acid (1) the 2 – phenyl quinoline (2) and hydroxide (3) the nitrogen – containing ring can be split N KMnO4 HOOC HOOC N (1) COOH N KMnO4 Ph N NHCOPh (2) COOH H OH KMnO4 N R (3) N NCHO R N - alkyl - 2 hydroxy quinoline lec 9 10

Substitution reaction

The nitrogen atom deactivates the pyridine ring and so the subistituent enter the benzene ring .calculation of charge densities show that position 8 will be attack by electrophilic reagent and position -2- by nucleophilic reagents .In practice nitration and sulphonation give a mixture of – 5 and 8 – substituted product . In bromination the heterocyclic rings is subistituted in the 3 – position .
