Abstract: | The construction of new or novelly functionalized annulated and bridged tricylic compounds by two consecutive C,C-bond formations (a and b in la , Scheme 1) is described. In a first step, chloroalkyl-substituted aminonitriles yielded pyrrolidines 8 , 15a , 15b , 23 , 25 and piperidine 18 by carbanionic ring closure (Schemes 5, 6, 7 and 8). Subsequent Friedel-Crafts cyclization transformed the β-aminonitriles 8 , 15a , 15b , and 18 either directly or via their carboxylic acid derivatives to the indeno [1, 2-c]pyrrole, 2, 5-methano-3-benzazocine, benz [f]isoindoline and 1, 4-ethano-2-benzazapine skeletons 11 , 16a , 16b and 21 , respectively (Schemes 5, 6 and 7). By classical ring expansion reactions the pyrrolo [3, 4-c]isoquinoline and benzopyrano-[3, 4-c]pyrrole skeletons 28 resp. 31 were obtained from 11 (Scheme 9). |
