Iron‐ or Zinc‐Mediated Synthetic Approach to Enantiopure Dihydroquinoxalinones

Abstract: A general and efficient synthesis of enantiopure dihydroquinoxalinones has been developed using naturally occurring amino acids as starting materials. The reductive cyclization of N‐(o‐nitroaryl)amino esters was performed by using iron and zinc metal under mild conditions in a water/ethyl acetate mixture. The corresponding dihydroquinoxalinones were obtained in moderate to high yields and high enantiomeric purity, among which 7 new compounds were unprecedented in the literature.

“…The polyamines derivatives were obtained in reactions with FNBT, CNBF, and BPI, as reported (Figure 1) [14][15][16]. CNBF and FNBT readily undergo a nucleophilic aromatic substitution; hence, numerous publications describe the usage of these reagents to synthesize heterocyclic compounds for medical applications [32,33] and were also applied for the determination of biogenic amines. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is a lack of information on spermidine and spermine derivatives' structures.…”

“…Dihydroquinoxalinones are bioactive compounds of high interest, due to their anticancer [ 42 , 43 , 44 ] and anti-inflammatory [ 45 ] properties, as well as their activity against neurological diseases [ 46 ] ( Scheme 2 ). Dihydroquinaxolinone derivatives have been mainly synthesized via coupling of o -nitroaryl- or o -aminoaryl halides with amino acids [ 43 , 45 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 ], or transition metal-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of the corresponding quinoxaline derivatives ( Scheme 2 ) [ 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 ]. However, these methods required air-sensitive catalysts, toxic organic solvents, and several ligands.…”

“…[13] Both approaches, although based on cheap chiral sources, somewhat suffered of substrate‐dependent applicability or partial racemization. [14] More recently, Ir‐ and Pd‐catalysed hydrogenation of quinoxalinones enabled to achieve consistently high level of asymmetric induction (Scheme 1 c,i ). [15] The process was also successfully expanded, employing chiral phosphoric acids/Hantzsch ester systems (Scheme 1 c,i i).…”
