Synthesis of heterocycles on the basis of arylation products of unsaturated compounds. 19.* Arylation of 2-acetylthio- phene and the synthesis of 2-(5-aryl-2-thien- yl)-4-quinolinecarboxylic acids
The reaction of 2-acetylthiophene with acetylthiophene with arenediazonium chlorides in the presence of cupric chloride as catalyst gives 2-acetyl-5-arylthiophenes. These products react with 5-chloro- and 5-bromoisatins to give 6-chloro- and 6-bromo-substituted 2-(5-aryl-2-thienyl)-4-quinolinecarboxylic acids.
