The 4H-quinolizin-4-one scaffold is of significant pharmaceutical interest. This heterocyclic structure is predicted to have attractive physico-chemical properties and is present in a variety of biologically active molecules. Despite these interesting characteristics, 4H-quinolizin-4-ones are largely under-represented in current small molecule screening libraries, and, therefore, this scaffold has been poorly investigated. Herein, a new strategy is reported for the syntheses of these rare and biologically interesting 4H-quinolizin-4-ones. This modular route involves the regioselective N-alkylation of 6-halo- 2-pyridones followed by a Stille cross-coupling, ring-closing metathesis, and palladium-catalyzed dehydrogenation reaction sequence. This method furnishes the target compounds in good yields and allows for access to unusual substitution patterns that are difficult to achieve by using other synthetic strategies.
