One-pot synthesis of polycyclic heterocyclic compounds by condensation of 1-carbamoylmethyl-2,3,3-trimethyl-3H-indolium salts with pyridine-2, 3, and 4- and quinoline-4-carboxaldehydes

A one-pot synthesis of new polycyclic heterocyclic compounds was carried out via the condensation of 1-carbamoylmethyl-2,3,3-trimethyl-3H-indolium chloride with pyridine- and quinolinecarboxaldehydes. The heating of the aforementioned 3H-indolium salts with 1 eq. of pyridine-2, 3, and 4- or quinoline-4-carboxaldehyde in ethanol in the presence of piperidine as a catalyst provided 9a-[2-(pyridyl)ethenyl]- or 9a-[2-(quinolyl)ethenyl]-9,9a-dihydro-1H-imidazo[1,2-a]indol-2(3H)-one derivatives as the main products. However, reaction outcome was dramatically different for the analogous reactions in acetic acid. In this case, the heating of the chloride with 2 eq. of pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde afforded derivatives of 9a-[3-(pyridin-2-yl)indolizin-2-yl]-9,9a-dihydro-1H-imidazo[1,2-a]indol-2(3H)-one as the major product, while the use of 2 eq. of pyridine-3 and 4- or quinoline-4-carboxaldehyde led to the formation 2-heteroaryl-1-heteroarylmethyl-9H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]indole-3-carboxamides. Plausible pathways for the cyclization reactions are discussed. The structural assignments were based on ¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁵N NMR spectroscopy, HRMS and single-crystal X-ray diffraction data.     

Methyl 2-[bis(acetyl)ethenyl]aminopropenoate in the synthesis of heterocyclic systems

Derivatives of pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidones 14–16 and thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidones 17 and 18 were prepared from 2-aminopyridines and 2-aminothiazoles, respectively. With C-nucleophiles derivatives of pyrido[1,2-a]-pyridinone 19 and 2H-1-benzopyran-2-one 20–22 were prepared.

Condensation of the isoindole–isoindoline isomers of the thieno[3′,2′:5,6]pyrimido[2,1-a]isoindol-6(10H)-one with aldehydes

The reaction of the isoindole–isoindoline isomers of the thieno[3′,2′:5,6]pyrimido[2,1-a]isoindol-6(10H)-one with aldehydes gives new benzylidene thieno[3′,2′:5,6]pyrimido[2,1-a]isoindol-6(10H)-one derivatives. The structures were assessed with NMR, UV spectroscopy and mass spectra.     

Synthesis and ring transformations of 1-amino-1,2,3,9a-tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-a]indol-2(9H)-ones

Heating 1-carbamoylmethyl-2,3,3-trimethyl-3H-indolinium chloride in the presence of hydrazine bishydrate produces regioselectively the five-membered heterocycle 1-amino-1,2,3,9a-tetrahydro-9,9,9a-trimethylimidazo[1,2-a]indol-2(9H)-one. The assignment of the structure is based on extensive ¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁵N NMR spectroscopic studies. No ring-chain tautomerism of the 1-amino-1,2,3,9a-tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-a]indol-2(9H)-one was observed to open-chain hydrazides or the corresponding six-membered 1,2,10,10a-tetrahydro[1,2,4]triazino[4,3-a]indol-3(4H)-one. Further transformations of 1-amino-1,2,3,9a-tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-a]indol-2(9H)-one were performed by treatment with aromatic aldehydes, acid chlorides and isocyanates giving access to 40 novel hydrazones, N,N′-diacylhydrazines, N-acyl-N′-carbamoylhydrazines and 1,3,4-oxadiazoles.
