Quinoline-para-quinones and metals: coordination-assisted formation of quinoline-ortho-quinones

Abstract

The reaction of the para-quinone 6,7-dichloroquinoline-5,8-dione with various transition metal dimers led to the unexpected formation of quinoline-ortho-quinone metal complexes. Systematic variation of the reaction conditions helped identify the solvent as the source of the carbonyl oxygen.
