Modification of Pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines and Pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinolines with Ammonium Acetate and Dimethyl Sulfoxide via Methylthiomethylation

Jia-Qin Li et al.

Summary: An efficient methylthiomethylation of pyrroloisoquinolines and pyrroloquinolines has been achieved using ammonium acetate and dimethyl sulfoxide. Moderate to good yields of methylthiomethylated heterocycles can be obtained in most cases, with trace amounts to good yields of methylene-bridged products observed. The chemoselectivity of this process is greatly influenced by the choice of DMSO activator and its amount. It is also noteworthy that the process is scalable and the product can easily be transformed to sulfone and sulfoxide.
