Reaction cascades initiated by nucleophilic attack of heteropentalene mesomeric betaine and nitrogen-rich mesoionic tetrazolium-5-amides on electron-deficient unsaturated compounds. Synthesis of novel heterocyclic systems.
The reactions of heteropentalene mesomeric betaine 1 and nitrogen-rich mesoionic tetrazolium-5-amides 4, 11 and 16-18 with electron-deficient unsaturated compounds have been studied. Novel heterocyclic systems, tetrazolo[4,5-a][1,7]benzodiazonine inner salt 2 and 3-oxo-3,7-dihydro-2H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine 5, have been synthesized by the reactions of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate with 1 and tetrazolium-5-anilide 4, respectively, and fully characterized by X-ray crystallography. It has been found that the reactions of other tetrazolium-5-amides are also initiated by the nucleophilic addition of the electron-rich amide nitrogen to the electron-deficient unsaturated compounds.
Using the Pummerer cyclization-deprotonation-cycloaddition cascade of imidosulfoxides for alkaloid synthesis.
The Pummerer reaction of imidosulfoxides bearing tethered alkenyl groups has been employed for the synthesis of several alkaloids. The required imidosulfoxides necessary for the cascade sequence were easily obtained by heating the appropriate amide with (ethylsulfeny)acetyl chloride followed by sodium periodate oxidation. The initially formed thionium ion, obtained by treating the imidosulfoxide with acetic anhydride and p-toluenesulfonic acid, reacts with the neighboring imido group, and the resulting oxonium ion undergoes subsequent deprotonation to produce an isomünchnone dipole. This mesoionic betaine intermediate undergoes ready intramolecular dipolar cycloaddition across the neighboring pi-bond. Exposure of the resulting cycloadducts to additional acetic anhydride leads to ring opening and formation of a 5-acetoxy-substituted 2(1H)-pyridone. This six-ring heterocyclic system constitutes a valuable building block for the synthesis of a variety of pyridine, quinolizidine, and clavine alkaloids. The cyclization-deprotonation-cycloaddition cascade has been successfully applied to the synthesis of the naturally occurring alkaloids onychnine, dielsiquinone, (+/-)-lupinine, (+/-)-anagyrine, (+/-)-pumiliotoxin C, and (+/-)-costaclavine.
