First synthesis of biquinoliziniun salts: novel example of a chiral azonia dication

Org Lett. 2006 Dec 21;8(26):5955-8. doi: 10.1021/ol062314i.

Abstract

[Structure: see text] The 1,1'-, 2,2'-, and 3,3'-biquinolizinium dications are described for the first time and were prepared using palladium-catalyzed homocoupling reactions of the corresponding isomeric bromoquinolizinium bromides. Theoretical calculations show 1,1'- and 4,4'-biquinolizinium dications to be chiral molecules, the latter of which has a high energy of formation, a factor that probably precludes its formation.
