Functiaonalization of 2-(1-Cyclohexen-1-yl)aniline Derivatives

The reaction of 2-(1-cyclohexen-1-yl)aniline and -6-methylaniline with phthalic anhydride has afforded 2-(2-cyclohex-1-en-1-ylphenyl)- and 2-(2-cyclohex-1-en-1-ylphenyl)-6-methylphenyl)-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-diones. The reaction of the obtained isoindole-1,3-diones with bromine in dichloromethane in the presence of sodium bicarbonate has led to the formation of the product of pseudo-allylic halogenation. Replacement of the halogen atom by methoxy group has been performed by keeping 2-[2-(6-bromocyclohex-1-en-1-ylphenyl)-6-methylphenyl)]-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione in a methanolic solution in the presence of NaHCO₃. The reaction of 2-(2-cyclohex-1-en-1-yl-6-methylphenyl)-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione with molecular bromine in the presence of methanol has given a co-halogenation product, whereas the dibromination product has been obtained in the presence of octyl alcohol.

Summary 2-Phenylthio-1,4-benzoquinone (1 a) reacts with azomethine ylide AY-A to give 2-methyl-5-phenylthio-2H-isoindole-4,7-dione (4 f). With 2-(N-methylanilino)-5-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone (1 b), the azomethine ylide AY-B undergoes cycloaddition to yield an inseparable mixture of 5a-methyl-8-(N-methylanilino)-2,3,5,5a,9a,9b-hexahydro-pyrrolo[2,1-a]1H-isoindole-6,9-dione (5 bI) and 9a-methyl-7-(N-methylanilino)-2,3,5,5a,9a,9b-hexahydropyrrolo[2,1-a]1H-isoindole-6,9-dione (5 bII). The structures of5 bI and5 bII were established on basis of two-dimensional-NMR-techniques. The mechanism of the cycloaddition of azomethine ylides to 1,4-quinones was studied on basis of cyclovoltammetric investigations. To determine the electron affinity of the isoindoledione derivatives4 a–f and5 a–b the peak potentials were measured by differential pulse polarography (DPP).

Synthesis of Substituted Pyrrolo[3,4‐a]carbazoles

The cycloaddition between N‐protected 3‐{1‐[(trimethylsilyl)oxy]ethenyl}‐1H‐indoles and substituted maleimides (= 1H‐pyrrole‐2,5‐diones) yielded substituted pyrrolo[3,4‐a]carbazole derivatives bearing an additional succinimide (= pyrrolidine‐2,5‐dione) moiety either at C(5a) or C(10b) depending on the type of the protection group at the indole N‐atom. Derivatives substituted at C(10b) were isolated when the protection group, Me₃Si or Boc (^tBuOCO), was eliminated during the reaction (Schemes 2 and 3), whereas a substitution at C(5a) was observed when an electron‐withdrawing group, Tos (4‐MeC₆H₄SO₂) or pivaloyl (Me₃CCO), was not eliminated (Scheme 1). Complex results were found in reactions between 1‐(trimethylsilyl)‐3‐{1‐[(trimethylsilyl)oxy]ethenyl}‐1H‐indole, in contrast to formerly reported results (Scheme 3). Some derivatives of 1H,5H‐[1,2,4]triazolo[1′,2 : 1,2]pyridazino[3,4‐b]indole‐1,3(2H)‐dione were obtained from reactions with 4‐phenyl‐3H‐1,2,4‐triazole‐3,5(4H)‐dione (Scheme 2). All structures were established by spectroscopic data, by calculations, and one representative structure was confirmed by an X‐ray crystallographic analysis (Fig.). Finally, the formation of the different structure types was discussed, and compared with similar reactions reported in the literature.
