Abstract

The reaction of 3-[(alkylsulfanyl)methyl]pentane-2,4-diones with naphthalen-1-amine in the presence of a catalytic amount of acetic acid afforded 1-(2-methylbenzo[h]quinolin-3-yl)ethanone. This transformation was presumed to proceed as a consecutive process including the formation of β-enamino ketone, elimination of alkanethiol from the latter, Friedel–Crafts intramolecular cyclization with the participation of the new double bond, and oxidative aromatization. 1-(Benzo[h]quinolin-3-yl)ethanone was also obtained by the three-component condensation of pentane-2,4-dione, formaldehyde, and naphthalen-1-amine in the presence of acetic acid. In this case, the precursor of 1-(benzo[h]quinolin-3-yl)ethanone is 4-(naphthalen-1-ylamino)pent-3-en-2-one.
