Arylation of 2‐Chloro‐3‐(4,6‐Diaryl‐1,3,5‐Triazin‐2‐yl) Quinolines: Formal Synthesis of 3‐(4,6‐Diaryl‐1,3,5‐Triazin‐2‐yl)‐2‐Substituted Quinolines by Suzuki–Miyaura Reaction

ABSTRACT We have described herein a simple and formal two‐step synthesis of 3‐(4,6‐diaryl‐1,3,5‐triazin‐2‐yl)‐2‐aryl quinolines from 2‐chloro‐3‐(4,6‐diaryl‐1,3,5‐triazin‐2‐yl) quinolines and boronic acids under the Suzuki–Miyaura conditions. This protocol provides the C‐2 arylation of 2‐chloro‐3‐(4,6‐diaryl‐1,3,5‐triazin‐2‐yl) quinolines under the mild reaction conditions. These newly formed chemo‐types may be useful in drug discovery programs or in material chemistry.
