Abstract

New dihydrodiquinolinopyrazines (DHDQP) were easily obtained by hetarynic dimerization of 2-alkylamino-3-bromoquinolines in the presence of complex base NaNH2-t-BuONa. Functionalization and derivatization of these new heterocycles are described.

Under optimal conditions 1 equiv of bromo derivative necessitates 2 equiv of complex base (in other words 4 equiv NaNH2 and 2 equiv of t-BuONa) and one supplementary equiv of NaNH2 for the formation of the sodium salt of the bromoamine. Thus, the basic reagent must be prepared by addition of 2 equiv of t-BuOH to 7 equiv of NaNH2.
