Abstract
The Au(III)-mediated oxidative cyclization of a series of 2-hydrazinylquinolines is reported. This intramolecular reaction represents a reliable way towards obtaining various 3H-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinolin-10-ium cations. The molecular structures of three of the starting compounds (2-(1-methyl-2-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)hydrazinyl)quinoline, 2-(1-methyl-2-(thiophen-2-ylmethylene)hydrazinyl)quinoline, 2-((2-methyl-2-(quinolin-2-yl)hydrazono)methyl)aniline) as well as of one cyclized system (3-methyl-1-(pyridin-2-yl)-3H-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinolin-10-ium dichloridoaurate(I)) were determined by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
1 Introduction
The oxidative cyclization is a common procedure for the synthesis of annulated derivatives of triazoles. This family of compounds is intensely investigated because of their potential application as fungicides or bactericides [1]. The synthesis of 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazine derivatives via oxidative cyclization of pyridazine-substituted hydrazones was recently reported, using nitrobenzene as oxidant [2]. Similarly, hydrazones can also be used as starting materials for the synthesis of 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine and its derivatives [3–6]. Moreover, heterocycles such as triazoloquinolines and triazolopyrazines can also be synthesized [6]. Finally, the oxidative cyclization reaction can be applied for the synthesis of 1,2,3-benzotriazoles, 1,2,3-benzotriazolium salts, and their derivatives, as was first shown more than 60 years ago for 1,2,3-triazolo[1,5-a]quinolin-10-ium and 1,2,3-triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine-8-ium salts [7]. Besides such classical organic syntheses, hydrazones with electron-rich aromatic substituents can be cyclized electrochemically by anodic oxidation, as evidenced by the synthesis of 3H-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinolin-10-ium and 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyridinium salts [8]. The presence of other heteroatoms such as sulfur does not prohibit the oxidative cyclization, as was shown for example in the synthesis of 1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives [9].
In this paper, we describe the intramolecular cyclization of 2-hydrazinylquinolines to 3H-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinolin-10-ium compounds mediated by [AuCl4]−. In general, Au(I) is well-known for its application in catalysis, but several transformations mediated by Au(III) have been reported, too [10]. The cyclization of 2-(1-methyl-2-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)hydrazinyl)quinolone (2) to 3-methyl-1-(pyridin-2-yl)-3H-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinolin-10-ium dichloridoaurate(I) (6) was confirmed by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, by 1H NMR spectroscopy and by mass spectrometry. We furthermore show by using 1H NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry that the cyclization also takes place with other 2-hydrazinylquinolines. Towards this end, three additional related 2-hydrazinylquinolines were synthesized and characterized and were subsequently subjected to an oxidative cyclization.
2 Results and discussion
2.1 Synthesis and general characterization of hydrazones 2–5
The hydrazones 2–5 were synthesized in a condensation reaction from 2-(1-methylhydrazinyl)quinoline (1) and the respective aldehyde in ethanol under closely related conditions (Scheme 1).

Synthesis of hydrazones 2–5 (ethanol, reflux, 2–6 h).
The 1H NMR spectra of the resulting hydrazones (in CDCl3) show the characteristic signals of the methyl group (δ = 3.85 (2), 3.79 (3), 3.80 (4), 3.78 ppm (5)) and the Schiff base proton (δ = 7.83 (2), 7.60 (3), 7.87 (4), 8.10 ppm (5)). The high-resolution mass spectra and the elemental analyses nicely match the calculated ones.
2.2 Structural description of hydrazones 2–5
2.2.1 2-(1-Methyl-2-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)hydrazinyl)quinoline (2)
The single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of compound 2 revealed that the molecule crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with Z = 4. As shown in Fig. 1, the molecule is planar, which is not unexpected due to its delocalized π electron system. The nitrogen atom of the quinoline moiety is oriented towards the methyl substituent of the hydrazone, forming a weak C–H···N hydrogen bond (2.740(1) Å, 108°). All bond lengths and angles are in good agreement with typical values for related organic molecules [11].

2.2.2 2-(1-Methyl-2-(thiophen-2-ylmethylene)hydrazinyl)quinoline (4)
For compound 4, the X-ray diffraction data revealed that the molecule crystallizes in the monoclinic space group Pc with Z = 2. The molecule is again planar due to the delocalized π electron system (Fig. 2). As in 2, the quinoline nitrogen atom is oriented towards the methyl group because of a hydrogen bonding interaction (2.733(3) Å, 108°) and all interatomic distances and angles agree with the typical values of related organic molecules [11].

2.2.3 2-((2-Methyl-2-(quinolin-2-yl)hydrazono)methyl)aniline (5)
The hydrazone 5 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with Z = 4. The quinoline nitrogen atom is oriented towards the methyl group, forming a weak hydrogen bond (2.769(2) Å, 106°, Fig. 3). Two additional hydrogen bonds are found in compound 5, namely N1a–H···N1q (3.078(2) Å, 168(1)°, intermolecular) and N1a–H···N2h (2.696(2) Å, 133(2)°, intramolecular). In contrast to 2 and 4, compound 5 is not planar. It rather comprises two planar moieties that are oriented at an angle of 21.87(6)° with respect to each other. Again, all bond lengths and angles agree well with the typical values for related organic molecules [11].

2.3 Cyclization of compound 2
Reaction of compound 2 with H[AuCl4] yields 3-methyl-1-(pyridin-2-yl)-3H-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinolin-10-ium dichloridoaurate(I) (6) in an unprecedented gold(III)-mediated cyclization reaction. The conversion of 2 with chloroauric acid and triethylamine in refluxing ethanol results in a pale yellow solid and involves a reduction of Au(III) to Au(I) (Scheme 2). The formation of product 6 includes a C–H activation of the Schiff base, finally resulting in the oxidative cyclization of the molecule.

Au(III)-mediated cyclization of various hydrazones (R = pyridin-2-yl (2, 6), furan-2-yl (3, 7), thiophen-2-yl (4, 8) or 2-aminophenyl (5, 9)).
The 1H NMR spectrum of 6 (CD3CN) shows a downfield shift of all signals compared to the spectrum of the starting compound 2 (CD3CN). For example, the characteristic resonance of the methyl group shifts by 0.53 ppm from δ = 3.82 to δ = 4.35 ppm. Moreover, the signal of the Schiff base proton of 2 (δ = 7.86 ppm) no longer exists in the spectrum of compound 6. The high-resolution mass spectrum and the elemental analysis data match the calculated values for the cyclized product. As expected, the hydrazone 2 is not converted to 6 under Au(III)-free reaction conditions.
2.4 Structural description of compound 6
The single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of compound 6 shows that the salt crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with Z = 4. Figure 4 shows that the cation consists of two planar aromatic systems, which are rotated with respect to each other at an angle of 45.42(7)°. The interatomic distances and angles are in the expected ranges [11]. The counterion [AuCl2]− is linear (angle: 179.29(3)°) and exhibits two (within standard deviations) identical Au–Cl distances of 2.2552(6) Å and 2.2560(6) Å. There are no aurophilic interactions between neighboring gold(I) ions.

2.5 Screening of hydrazones 3–5
After having established the Au(III)-mediated cyclization of compound 2, the scope of this reaction was tested by investigating other 2-hydrazinylquinolines under the same reaction conditions. The resulting 3H-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinolin-10-ium compounds were not isolated. Instead, the successful conversion of the respective starting compounds was confirmed by 1H NMR spectroscopy (CD3CN) and high-resolution mass spectrometry. For the screening, 2-(2-(furan-2-ylmethylene)-1-methylhydrazinyl)quinoline (3), 2-(1-methyl-2-(thiophen-2-ylmethylene)hydrazinyl)quinoline (4) and 2-((2-methyl-2-(quinolin-2-yl)hydrazono)methyl)aniline (5) were used (Scheme 2). All compounds contain one methyl group, enabling a 1H NMR-spectroscopic verification of the successful cyclization. The disappearance of the resonance due to the Schiff base hydrogen atom serves as an additional indicator. Moreover, the existence of the signal of the respective 3H-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinolin-10-ium cation in the mass spectrum was used to evaluate the success of the cyclization.
In the 1H NMR spectra of the cyclization product of compound 3, i.e. 1-(furan-2-yl)-3-methyl-3H-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinolin-10-ium dichloridoaurate(I) (7), the resonance of the methyl group is shifted towards lower field from 3.74 to 4.36 ppm (Δδ = 0.62 ppm). In the case of 3-methyl-1-(thiophen-2-yl)-3H-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinolin-10-ium dichloridoaurate(I) (8), representing the cyclization product of compound 4, this downfield shift amounts to 0.58 ppm (from 3.75 to 4.33 ppm). Moreover, the product resulting from the cyclization of compound 5, i.e. 1-(2-aminophenyl)-3-methyl-3H-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinolin-10-ium dichloridoaurate(I) (9), features a downfield shift of the methyl resonance of 0.53 ppm (from 3.81 to 4.34 ppm). In all three cases, the signal due to the Schiff base hydrogen atom (3: δ = 7.73 ppm, 4: δ = 8.05 ppm, 5: δ = 8.06 ppm) is lost after the conversion.
The high-resolution mass spectra of 7, 8 and 9 show signals at m/z = 250.0980 (7: calcd. 250.0975), 266.0755 (8: calcd. 266.0746) and 275.1290 (9: calcd. 275.1291), respectively, thereby confirming the successful cyclization. Hence, the Au(III)-mediated cyclization of 2 to 6 is not a single case but represents a general procedure for the synthesis of 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinolin-10-ium compounds.
3 Conclusions
We have reported an unprecedented Au(III)-mediated cyclization reaction of 2-hydrazinylquinolines. The cyclization involves a C–H activation of the Schiff base and an oxidation of the quinoline. As a result, a series of 3H-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinolin-10-ium cations are formed. For one of the heterocycles, the structure could be confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The hydrazones required as starting compounds are easily accessible from 2-(1-methylhydrazinyl)quinoline (1) and an aldehyde. Hence, this Au(III)-mediated cyclisation represents an easy access to a variety of 3H-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinolin-10-ium cations.

4.7 Crystal structure determinations
Single-crystal X-ray diffraction data were collected with graphite-monochromated MoKα radiation (λ = 0.71073 Å) on a Bruker Quazar diffractometer (2 and 6) and a Bruker D8 Venture diffractometer (4 and 5). The structures were solved by Direct Methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares on F2 by using the Shelxtl and Shelxl-97 programs [14]. Relevant crystallographic data are listed in Table 1.
Crystallographic data and data collection and refinement details for compound 2 and 4–6.
