Quinoline – Molecular Formula – C9H7N

• In quinoline all ring atoms (9 carbons and 1 nitrogen) are SP2 hybridized.• Two SP2 orbitals on each atom overlap with each other to form the C-C and C-N σ bonds. The third SP2 orbital on each carbon atom overlaps with an S orbital of hydrogen and forms C-H σ bonds.

Quinoline is a Fused aromatic ring system also known as benzo(b)pyridine.

•The third SP2 orbital of nitrogen is occupied by the nitrogen lone pair of electrons.• Each ring atom possess one un hybridized p – orbital containing one electron and those are perpendicular to the plane containing the σ bonds.

Page 3: Heterocyclic chemistry - Fused ring systems

Mr. C. Naresh Babu, Asst. Professor, RIPER, ATP 3

• Overlap of these p – orbitals produces delocalized π – molecular orbital containing 10 electrons.• Quinoline shows aromatic properties because the resulting molecular orbital satisfies the Huckle’s rule (4n+2 rule).• The nitrogen lone pair is not released into the aromatic system because it is perpendicular to the system.•The nitrogen withdraws electrons by resonance, resulting in an electron-deficient ring system.

Preparations1. Skraup Synthesis: Here a mixture of glycerol (propane- 1,2,3-triol), aniline

(phenylamine), sulfuric acid, nitrobenzene and ferrous [iron(II)] sulfate are heated together.

The reaction is exothermic and tends to become very violent. ferrous [iron(II)] sulfate is added to make the reaction less

violent. Nitrobenzene, or an alternative oxidant (iodine or chloroaniline

are often recommended), is required to convert the product, 1,2- dihydroquinoline into quinoline.

Preparations1. Bischler-Napieralski Synthesis: This method is very useful for the construction of 1-substituted

3,4- dihydroisoquinolines, which if necessary can be oxidized to isoquinolines.

β-phenylethylamine is reacted with an acyl chloride and a base to give the corresponding amide (R1 = H) and then this is cyclized to a 3,4-dihydroisoquinoline by treatment with either phosphorus pentoxide or phosphorus oxychloride. Finally, aromatization is accomplished by heating the 3,4-dihydroisoquinoline over palladium on charcoal.

2. Pictet-Spengler Synthesis:β-phenylethylamine react with an aldehyde, the reaction intermediate is an imine which, provided the benzene ring contains electron donating groups, often ring closes under very mild acidic conditions. Indeed, cyclization can occur under physiological conditions, and in Nature this is an important step in the biosynthesis of many tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids. This tetrahydroisoquinoline can be dehydrogenated by palladium to form 1-substituted isoquinoline.

Indole – Molecular Formula – C8H7N

• In indole all ring atoms (8 carbons and 1 nitrogen) are SP2 hybridized.• Two SP2 orbitals on each atom overlap with each other to form the C-C and C-N σ bonds. The third SP2 orbital on each ring atom overlaps with an S orbital of hydrogen and forms C-H and N-H σ bonds.

Indole is a Fused aromatic ring system also known as benzo(b)pyrrole.

•The un hybridized p – orbital of nitrogen is occupied by the nitrogen lone pair of electrons.• Each carbon atom in ring possess one un hybridized p – orbital containing one electron and those are perpendicular to the plane containing the σ bonds.

• Overlap of these p – orbitals produces delocalized π – molecular orbital containing 10 electrons. (8 electrons from 8 carbons and lone pair of electrons from nitrogen)• Indole shows aromatic properties because the resulting molecular orbital satisfies the Huckle’s rule (4n+2 rule).• The nitrogen lone pair is released into the aromatic system.

hydrazine. Then the hydrazine is heated with anhydrous zinc chloride or poly phosphoric acid

to give indole-2-carboxylic acid, which upon decarboxylation yields indole.

Basic Character & Acidic character:• Indole is a weak base and also a weak acid as like pyrrole.• Indole is a weak base since the lone pair of electrons of nitrogen

atom contributes to the 4n+2 π electron cloud (aromatic sextet). Thus, the availability of these lone pair of electrons is decreased.

• Indole also exhibit weak acidic properties, the weak acidic property is because of its formation of potassium indole with KOH.

Chemical reactions:Electrophilic Substitution reactions (C-3 versus C-2): Electrophiles attack indole at C-3, rather than at C-2. This is the opposite result to that observed for pyrroles, but can be explained if the

intermediates for each type of reaction are considered. For a reaction at C-3, the energy of activation of the intermediate is lowered

because it is possible to delocalize the positive charge through resonance involving the nitrogen lone pair of electrons.

This favourable situation is not possible in the corresponding intermediate for attack at C-2. Any attempt to delocalize the positive charge would now disrupt the 6π electrons system of the benzene ring.
