Abstract:
In this study, we developed a selective method for synthesis of multi-substituted quinoline-2-ylphosphonates and quinoline-3-ylphosphonates by copper- or gold-catalyzed reactions of phosphoryl-substituted conjugated ynones with 2'-amino-2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenones. The approach proposed makes it possible to obtain various substituted quinolines in good yields. It is also shown that (4,4,4-trifluoro-3-oxobut-1-yn-1-yl)phosphonate reacts with 2-aminoaryl ketones under non-catalytic conditions with formation of 4-substituted quinoline-2-ylphosphonates in high yields.

Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...
