Synthesis of azecino[5,4-b]indoles and indolo[3,2-e][2]benzazonines via tandem transformation of hydrogenated indoloquinolizines and indolizines

The reactions of partially hydrogenated indole-fused quinolizines and indolizines with activated alkynes in methanol, acetonitrile, and dichloromethane were studied. The reactions were shown to be accompanied by the cleavage of the bridging C-N bond. Azecino[5,4-b]-indole and indolo[3,2-e][2]benzazonine derivatives were synthesized.     

Conversion of 2-ethyl-3,3,5,5-tetramethyl- and 2-ethyl-1,3,3,5,5-pentamethyl-1,2,4,5-tetra-hydro-3h-benz-2-azepines by the action of ethyl propiolate

It has been shown that, on interacting 2-ethyl-3,3,5,5-tetramethyl- and 2-ethyl-1,3,3,5,5-pentamethyl-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-3H-benz-2-azepines with ethyl propiolate in methanol, fission of the azepine ring occurs at the C(1)–N(2) bond involving a molecule of solvent. The indicated azepines do not react with acetylenedicarboxylic acid ester under these conditions.     

Transformations of tetrahydropyrido[4′,3′:4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones in the presence of alkynes bearing electron-withdrawing substituents

Tetrahydropyrido[4??,3??:4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines in the presence of activated alkynes were transformed into mixtures of pyrimido[5??,4??:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]azocines and spiro[pyridine-4,5??-thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines].     

2-Alkyl-4-oxohexahydropyrimido[4,5-<Emphasis Type=Italic>d</Emphasis>]- and -[5,4-<Emphasis Type=Italic>d</Emphasis>]azocines

It has been established that 2-R-4-oxotetrahydropyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidines, under the action of activated alkynes in methanol, form a mixture of 2-R-4-oxohexahydropyrimido[4,5-d]azocines and products of decomposition of the tetrahydropyridine ring, the 2-R-5-methoxymethyl-4-oxo-6-vinylaminoethyl-pyrimidines. Tetrahydropyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidine, isomeric at the junction of the pyrimidine and tetrahydropyridine rings, forms only the corresponding pyrimido[5,4-d]azocine, the product of expansion, under the action of methyl propiolate.     

A novel domino condensation–intramolecular nucleophilic cyclization approach towards annulated thiochromenes

A one-pot protocol towards previously unreported derivatives of thiochromeno [2′,3′:4,5] imidazo[2,1-a]isoquinoline via a domino reaction of isoquinoline-derived iminium salts and α-mercapto benzaldehydes is elaborated.     

Facile synthesis of pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines by domino reaction of 1-aroyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolines with conjugated ketones,nitroalkenes and nitriles

Molecular Diversity - A convenient protocol for the synthesis of 5,6-dihydropyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines with various electron-withdrawing substituents at C-2 atom is described. This approach is...
