Silica gel and microwave-promoted synthesis of dihydropyrrolizines and tetrahydroindolizines from enaminones

Abstract: A wide range of N-(ethoxycarbonylmethyl)enaminones, prepared by the Eschenmoser sulfide contraction between N-(ethoxycarbonylmethyl)pyrrolidine-2-thione and various bromomethyl aryl and heteroaryl ketones, underwent cyclization in the presence of silica gel to give ethyl 6-(hetero)aryl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolizine-5-carboxylates within minutes upon microwave heating in xylene at 150 °C. Instead of functioning as a nucleophile, the enaminone acted as an electrophile at its carbonyl group during the cyclization. Y… Show more

“…With the required isoquinolinium bromide 3 and acylating agents 6–9 in hand, the exploration of the key pyrrole ring formation was undertaken. It was envisioned that N -alkylated 6,7-dimethoxy-1-methyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolinium salt 3 will be deprotonated to the enamine which should in turn react with acylating reagents 40–42 to form intermediate 12 , which should directly undergo intramolecular condensation via elimination of water 14,43 to give pyrrolo[2,1- a ]isoquinolines 13 . The results of optimization of the reaction conditions for pyrrole ring formation are summarized in Table 1.…”

“…Such groups are also tolerated in the reaction, and we obtained 5e–5g in good yields. 3,38,39 Thioformamides are rarely reported in the metal-catalyzed coupling of thioamides and diazo compounds. 24,25 However, they gave good yields of coupled products ( 5h and 5i ).…”
