Regioselective Heterocyclization of 3-(Cyclohex-2′-enyl)-4-hydroxy-6-methylpyran-2-one

Summary.  Regioselective heterocyclization of 3-(cyclohex-2′-enyl)-4-hydroxy-6-methyl pyran-2-one with various reagents afforded different heterocycles. With N-iodosuccinimide in acetonitrile at 0–5°C it gave 6-methyl-9′-iodo-2′-oxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonano[3,2-c]pyran-2-one, with C₅H₅NHBr₃ or C₆H₁₂N₄HBr₃ in CHCl₃ at 0–5°C it furnished 6-methyl-9′-bromo-2′-oxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonano[3,2-c]pyran-2-one. Cold concentrated H₂SO₄ lead to 6-methyl-2′-oxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonano[3,2-c]pyran-2-one, whereas PdCl₂(PhCN)₂ in C₆H₆ at 80°C afforded 9-methyl benzofuro[3,2-c]pyran-2-one. Corresponding author.

[1,3]Dioxolo[5,6][1]benzothieno[2,3-c]-quinolin-6(5H)-ones

Summary The reaction of 3,4-methylenedioxycinnamic acid (1) with thionyl chloride resulted in the formation of 7-chlorothieno[2,3-f]-1,3-benzodioxole-6-carbonyl chloride (2) and cinnamoyl chloride (3). Subsequent reaction of the former withp-substituted anilines led to the formation of 7-chloro-N-(p-substituted phenyl)-thieno[2,3-f]-1,3-benzodioxole-6-carboxamides (4a–c) which on photocyclization afforded 2-substituted [1,3]dioxolo[5,6][1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolin-6(5H)-ones (5a–c) in fairly good yields and high purity. The structures have been confirmed by IR,¹H NMR, and analytical methods.Accepted for presentation at the Hong Kong International Symposium on Heterocyclic Chemistry (August 13–16, 1995)
