Synthesis of heterocyclic [3.3.3]propellanes via a sequential four-component reaction

A highly chemoselective heteroannulation protocol for the synthesis of unreported polysubstituted heterocyclic [3.3.3]propellanes has been developed by sequential four-component reaction of ninhydrin, malononitrile, primary amines, and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates under mild conditions in water. To the best of our knowledge, there are no previous reports for the synthesis of these classes of heterocyclic [3.3.3]propellanes. The merit of this sequential Knoevenagel condensation/enamine formation/Michael addition/cyclization sequence is highlighted by its high atom-economy, excellent yields, the use of water as reaction media, and the efficiency of production without the use of any activator or metal promoters. This synthesis serves as a nice addition to group-assistant-purification (GAP) chemistry in which purification via chromatography and recrystallization can be avoided, and the pure products were obtained simply by washing the crude products with 95% ethanol.

Abstract

A new series of regioselective dispiropyrrolidine analogs via efficient one-pot four-component tandem reaction has been discovered.

The synthesized compound was further screened for antibacterial and antiproliferative activities. The results showed that compound 5c and 5a were potent antibacterials against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Further, 5a showed best antiproliferative activity against tested cell lines.
