An intramolecular, alkyne iminium ion cyclization of vinylogous carbamates derived from o-alkynyl anilines and N-protected homopropargyl amines is developed for the stereoselective construction of trans-2,3-disubstituted indolines and pyrrolidine derivatives, respectively. The regioselectivity of the alkyne iminium ion cyclization could be switched using a hydroxy group as an internal nucleophile resulting in cyclic ether-fused 1,2-dihydroquinolines. The entire process of nitrogen heterocycle formation can also be carried out in a 'one-pot' manner starting from o-iodo aniline derivatives.
An intramolecular, alkyne Prins type cyclization of vinylogous carbonates derived from o-alkynyl phenols is developed for the stereoselective construction of trans-2,3-disubstituted dihydrobenzofuran derivatives. Strong Lewis acids like TMSOTf catalyse this reaction efficiently. The presence of mildly electron donating groups on aryl rings increases the efficiency of the reaction.
A single alkynyl vinylogous carbonate
was elaborated to tetrasubstituted
furan or dihydrofuran via a cascade inter-intramolecular radical reaction
by changing the radical being added. The strategy could be used in
the synthesis of polycyclic heterocycles as well as bis-furan exhibiting
atropisomerism. Installation of a new furan motif on the existing
one was feasible by iteration. Stannyl dihydrofuran derivative was
used in Stille coupling, whereas intramolecular Friedel–Crafts
acylation on the furan gave furanonaphthol.
C-fused pyranoheterocycles can be readily assembled using an intramolecular oxa-Pictet-Spengler type reaction of vinylogous carbonates in a highly stereoselective manner. Required indole and benzofuran rings tethered to vinylogous carbonates are prepared by a tandem Sonogashira coupling-nucleopalladation reaction. The entire process can also be carried out in a 'one-pot' manner starting from homopropargyl alcohol. The C-fused pyranoindoles could be converted to spirooxindoles as well as to ring expanded products under oxidative conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
