New multicomponent domino reaction on water: highly diastereoselective synthesis of spiro[indoline-3,4′-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines] catalyzed by NaCl

A direct and efficient approach for the preparation of medicinally promising pyrazolopyridinyl spirooxindoles has been developed through a sequential one-pot, three-component reaction of easily available isatin, α-cyanoacetic ester or malononitrile, and 5-amino-3-methylpyrazole catalyzed by sodium chloride in water. Desired products were obtained in high to excellent yields using a simple workup procedure. The product synthesized using α-cyanoacetic ester showed high diastereoselectivity in which the stereochemistry of major diastereomer was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. The present green synthesis shows attractive characteristics such as the use of water as the reaction medium, one pot conditions, short reaction period, easy workup/purification, and reduced waste production, without use of any acid or metal promoters.     

An easy route toward enantio-enriched polycyclic derivatives via an asymmetric domino conjugate reduction–aldol cyclization catalyzed by a chiral Cu(I) complex

A highly efficient reductive-aldol cyclization mediated by a chiral Cu(I) complex and an organosilane yielded to cyclic or polycyclic derivatives. An excellent control of the selectivities was reached in most cases (dr up to 100:0 and ee up to 95%). After developing the enantioselective intramolecular reductive-aldol methodology, this strategy was successfully used for the synthesis of a key intermediate of a natural diterpene in few steps.     

Synthesis of pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyrrolo[3,4-d]pyridine derivatives via Aza-Diels–Alder reaction: evaluation of torsion effect of pyrazoylimines

A modified method for the synthesis of pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyrrolo[3,4-d]pyridine was developed through an Aza-Diels–Alder reaction of pyrazoylimines with maleimides in the sealed tube. Based on the control experiment, the yields for the Aza-Diels–Alder reaction seemed proportional to the suitable torsion conformation of pyrazoylimine, which was modulated by N,N-disubstituted amidinyl moiety. The versatile sealed tube technique was also proved to promote the higher isolated yields in the Aza-Diels–Alder reaction.     

An efficient and solvent-free one-pot multi-component synthesis of novel highly substituted pyrido[2′,3′:3,4]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-3-carbonitrile derivatives catalyzed by tetramethylguanidine

Abstract

An efficient solvent-free access towards highly substituted pyrido[2′,3′:3,4]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-3-carbonitrile derivatives has been established through multi-component reaction of 1H‐pyrazolo[3,4‐b]pyridin‐3‐amine, aldehyde, 3-(1H-indol-3-yl)-3-oxopropanenitrile catalyzed by 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine (TMG). The reaction allows the formation of one C?C and two C?N bonds with high yield. The significant features of this solvent-free reaction include mild reaction condition, readily accessible substrates, short reaction time, excellent yield, and broad substrate scopes as well as simple one-pot operation, no column chromatographic purification, which makes this strategy highly attractive.     

Microwave-induced domino-Knoevenagel-hetero Diels–Alder reaction—an easy route to di[1]benzopyrano[2,3-b:4′,3′-d]pyridine

MW-irradiation of a well-ground equimolar mixture of 2-(N-alkynyl-N-aryl)aminochromone-3-carbaldehyde and dimedone underwent domino-Knoevenagel-hetero Diels–Alder (DKHDA) reaction for nonterminal alkynes, whereas conventional heating of the above reaction mixture in ethanol in the presence of pyridine accomplished alkyne-carbonyl metathesis (ACM) reaction or both ACM and DKHDA reaction. Here is the first example of an organo-catalyzed ACM reaction.     

Iodine catalyzed one-pot multi-component reaction to CF3-containing spiro[indene-2,3′-piperidine] derivatives

In the presence of a catalytic amount of molecular iodine (0.1 equiv.), the one-pot multi-component reaction of ethyl trifluoroacetoacetate 1, indan-1,3-dione 2, ammonium acetate 3 and aromatic aldehyde 4 mainly gave the ethyl-6′-hydroxy-1,3-dioxo-2′,4′-diaryl-6′-(trifluoromethyl)-1,3-dihydrospiro[indene-2,3′-piperidine]-5′-carboxylate derivatives 5, along with the minor product 2-trifluoromethyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-indeno[1,2-b]pyridine derivatives 6. A plausible reaction mechanism for the formation of 5, 6 was presented. The structures of compounds 5, 6 were fully confirmed by ¹H NMR, ¹⁹F NMR, MS, IR spectroscopies and elemental analysis or high resolution mass spectra (HRMS). Meanwhile, the representative 5a and 6h were further confirmed by XRD analysis.

An environmentally benign approach in aqueous medium by means of Lewis acid catalyst affords a wide spectrum of pyrazoline derivatives in satisfactory yields.
