Fluoroquinolones from Imidoylketenes and Iminopropadienones, R–N=C=C=C=O
2009
3-Fluoro-, 4-fluoro-, and 2,3,4-trifluorophenyliminopropadienones have been generated by flash vacuum thermolysis (FVT) of 5-[(fluoroarylamino)methoxymethylene]-2,2-dimethyldioxan-4,6-dione (Meldrum’s acid) derivatives. Their reaction with methanol affords interconverting imidoylketenes and oxoketenimines, which are employed in a synthesis of fluoroquinolones. The same quinolones are obtained from methyl 1-fluoroaryl-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylates, which on FVT eliminate N2 to generate oxoketenimines. Rearrangement of the oxoketenimines to imidoylketenes and cyclization afford the quinolones.
