Synthesis of poly-substituted pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinolines through one-pot two component cascade reaction

A diversity-oriented method for the synthesis of novel poly-substituted pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinolines has been developed on the basis of an SNAr/Knoevenagel cyclization cascade reaction or an SNAr/Dieckmann–Thorpe cyclization cascade reaction. The methods provide a variety of poly-substituted pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinolines bearing an amino, alkyl or aryl substituent at the 5-position. In addition, a diversity-oriented method for the synthesis of 2-substituted pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinolines from a readily available 2-[[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]oxy]pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinoline has also been disclosed.
