Microwave-assisted multicomponent reactions: rapid and regioselective formation of new extended angular fused aza-heterocycles

A new multicomponent domino reaction for rapid and regioselective synthesis of highly functionalized benzo[h]naphtho[2,3-a]acridine-15,16(5H,14H)-diones has been established. The reaction can be conducted by using readily available and inexpensive substrates under microwave irradiation. The procedures are facile, avoiding timeconsuming and costly syntheses, tedious work-up and purifications of precursors as well as protection/deprotection of functional groups. This method is much more efficient due to short reaction times and easy work up. The resulting naphthoacridines have been readily converted into benzoquinoxaline-fused benzoquinoline analogues by treating with benzene-1,2-diamine under microwave irradiation. The structural assignment has been ambiguously confirmed by X-ray analysis. A new mechanism has been proposed for this new multicomponent domino process.

Ammonium chloride-promoted four-component synthesis of pyrrolo[3,4-b]pyridin-5-one

A novel multicomponent synthesis of 5-aminooxazole starting from simple and readily available inputs is described. Thus, simply heating a methanol solution of an aldehyde 3, an amine 4, and an alpha-isocyanoacetamide 5 provided the 5-aminooxazole (1) in good to excellent yield. The reaction of 1 with alpha,beta-unsaturated acyl chloride 13 lead to the formation of pyrrolo[3,4-b]pyridin-5-one (2) in a single operation. A triple domino sequence, acylation/IMDA/retro-Michael cycloreversion, is involved in this new scaffold-generating reaction. After the observation that ammonium chloride can significantly accelerate the oxazole formation in toluene, a one-pot four-component synthesis of 2 is developed.     

Multicomponent Strategy for the Preparation of Pyrrolo[1,2‐a]pyrimidine Derivatives under Catalyst‐Free and Microwave Irradiation Conditions

A simple and efficient one‐pot procedure has been developed for the construction of pyrrolo[1,2‐a]pyrimidines via the three‐component domino reaction of 5‐aminopyrazoles, acetylenedicarboxylates and malononitrile under catalyst‐free, microwave irradiation conditions.

The advantages of this protocol include readily available starting materials, short reaction times and good regioselectivity.

Abstract

8-Methoxy-4-phenyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydrobenzo[h]quinazoline-2(1H)-thione, obtained by the condensation of 2-benzylidene-6-methoxy-3,4-dihydronapthalene-1(2H)-one with thiourea, on reaction with chloroacetic acid and 3-chloropropanoic acid in the presence of the ionic liquid N-methylpyridinium tosylate furnishes 3-methoxy-7-phenyl-7,10-dihydro-5H- benzo[h]thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazoline-9(6H)-one and 3-methoxy-7-phenyl-5,6,10,11-tetrahydro- benzo[h][1,3]thiazino[2,3-b]quinazoline-9(7H)-one.

An efficient and green strategy for the improved synthesis of a biologically and pharmaceutically interesting multi‐functionalized diverse novel spiro‐benzo[a ]phenazine annulated heterocycles was developed with the assistance of microwave irradiation. A sequential one‐pot, two‐step domino reaction starting from 2‐hydroxynaphthalene‐1,4‐dione, benzene‐1,2‐diamines, a cyclic carbonyl compound, and 1,3‐indandione in the presence of a basic ionic liquid (1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium hydroxide) as an expedient, ecofriendly and reusable catalyst afforded the corresponding novel spiro[benzo[a ]indeno[2′,1′:5,6]pyrano[2,3‐c ]phenazine] derivatives with high yield under solvent‐free conditions. This domino Knoevenagel–Michael annulation reaction provided five new bonds (two C–C, two CN, and one C–O) and two new rings through multiple operations in a single flask.     

Regioselectively Synthesis of Thiazolo[4,5‐a]acridines and Oxazolo[5,4‐a]thiazolo[5,4‐j]acridines via Multicomponent Domino Reactions

A regioselective three‐component reaction of aromatic aldehydes, 2‐hydroxy‐1,4‐naphthoquinone and benzo[d]thiazol‐5‐amine in HOAc under microwave irradiation has been developed.

The present synthesis shows several advantages, such as operational simplicity, fast reaction rates, which makes it a useful and attractive process of library generation for drug discovery.     

New reaction of benzo[b]thieno[3,2-b]benzo[b]thiophene disulfone

A new reaction of benzo[b]thieno[3,2-b]benzo[b]thiophene disulfone with amines that takes place with opening of one of the thiophene rings and nucleophilic substitution in the heteroaromatic ring at the site of cleavage of the S-C bond was observed.

The multicomponent reaction of imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine carbenes with phthalaldehydes and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate: a facile construction of benzo[d]furo[3,2-b]azepines

A study on the multicomponent reaction comprising both N-heterocyclic carbenes and substituted phthalaldehydes is reported. The imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine carbenes, namely imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine-3-ylidenes, reacted with phthalaldehydes and DMAD under very mild conditions to produce novel fused tricyclic benzo[d]furo[3,2-b]azepine derivatives. The resulting fused heterocyclic compounds are fluorescent and they give an emission around 500 nm with quantum yields (Φ(F)) being up to 0.81. This study provides not only a unique approach to fused azepine derivatives that are not easily accessible by other methods, but also opens a new avenue to complicated molecular skeletons. The fluorescence properties of long emission wavelength and high fluorescence quantum yields of some products predict their potential applications as optical sensors.     

Sulfur-rich heterocycles from 2-metalated benzo[b]thiophene and benzo[b]furan: synthesis and structure

The reaction of 2-lithiated benzo[b]thiophene with 8 equiv of elemental sulfur was found to give pentathiepino[6,7-b]benzo[d]thiophene. In contrast, treatment of 2-lithiated benzo[b]furan with sulfur under similar conditions produced the interesting ring system bis(benzo[4,5]furo)[2,3-e:3',2'-g][1,2,3,4]tetrathiocine. Both of these new cyclic polysulfides were studied by X-ray crystallography. Two polymorphic forms of pentathiepino[6,7-b]benzo[d]thiophene were found, displaying similar conformations but different packing schemes, which was also evident from powder diffraction data.
