DBU-Catalyzed Alkyne–Imidate Cyclization toward 1-Alkoxypyrazino[1,2-a]indole Synthesis

Abstract: 1-(Propargyl)indol-2-carbonitriles react with alcohols to afford 1-alkoxypyrazino[1,2- a]indoles under DBU-catalyzed microwave-assisted conditions. The reaction scope includes a wide range of indoles, primary and secondary alcohols, and a thiol. The initial mechanistic study shows that the domino process presumably proceeds through an alkyne-allene rearrangement, imidate formation, and nucleophilic cyclization reaction sequence.

“…On the basis of these experimental results, a possible reaction mechanism was proposed using the synthesis of 3a as an example, as shown in Scheme . In the presence of a base, 2a is converted into alkoxy anion intermediate I , which is easily reacted with 1a through nucleophilic addition to give intermediate II . The latter then gives the intermediate benzyl pyrimidine‐2‐carbimidate ( 3a′ ) by capturing H + .…”

“…on C2 with a nucleophile linked to the indole nitrogen atom, thus creating the pyrazino C-ring ( Scheme 1 ). For example, 2-substituted-1-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)-1 H -indoles 5 , 7 , 9 , 11 , 13 transformed into pyrazinoindoles 6 , 8 , 10 , 12 and 14 respectively by intramolecular cyclization using NH 3 in MeOH, [ 9 , 10 ] DBU under microwave irradiation, [ 11 ] AuCl 3 [ 12 ] as triple bond activator, Ni(OAc) 2 in the presence of hydroxylamine [ 13 ] or NaH in DMF [ 14 ].…”

“…The indole scaffold represents probably one of the most important structural subunits for the discovery of new drug candidates [6][7][8][9]. In particular, the derivatives of 2-cyanoindoles gained considerable attention in recent years because of their great importance in biological sciences, and they are also of interest thanks to this nitrile function [10][11][12]. The 2-cyanoindole unit is an example of structural motif building blocks and effective precursors for the synthesis of various indole-fused polycycles [13][14][15][16][17][18][19], substituted 2-cyanoindoles [20][21][22][23][24], addition to nitriles [25,26] and indole heterocycle substitution [27,28].…”
