Lewis Acid Mediated Aminobenzannulation Reactions of ,-Ketoalkynes: Synthesis of 1-Aminocarbazoles and 9-Aminopyrido[1,2- a]indoles

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 17 2009
Diego Facoetti
Abstract 2-Acyl- N -propargylindoles 1 and 2-acyl-3-propargylindoles 5 undergo aminobenzannulation reactions with pyrrolidine in the presence of an appropriate Lewis acid to give 9-aminopyrido[1,2- a]indoles 6 and 1-aminocarbazoles 7, respectively. The selection of the appropriate Lewis acid, TiCl4 or GaCl3 for 1 and InCl3 for 5, allows the domino process involving the initial formation of an enamine intermediate, followed by a regioselective 6- exo - dig intramolecular nucleophilic attack of the nucleophilic terminus of the unsaturated system (the ,-carbon of the enamino moiety) to the carbon,carbon triple bond. Moreover, several features concerning the reaction mechanism and the role of both catalysts, in connection with the electronic properties of the reacting alkynes, are reported.

New straightforward route for the synthesis of some 1-oxa-2-silacyclopentane derivatives

JOURNAL OF HETEROCYCLIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 2 2008
Kazem D. Safa
Tris(dimethylsilyl)methyl lithium, (HSiMe2)3CLi, reacts with allyl, phenyl, benzyl, n -propyl and n -butyl glycidyl ethers in THF at -5 °C to give 1-oxa-2-silacyclopentane derivatives. It seems that ring closure is facilitated by conversion of the SiH bond into an SiO bond. Glycidyl methacrylate (GM) random copolymers with 4-methyl- and 4-methoxy styrene, synthesized by solution free radical polymerization at 70 (±1) °C with ,,,-azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) as initiator, contained pendant epoxide functions. Treatment of these with (HSiMe2)3CLi did not lead to intramolecular nucleophilic attack as found for simple epoxides. [source]


Influence of "Alternative" C-terminal amino acids on the formation of [b3 + 17 + Cat]+ products from metal cationized synthetic tetrapeptides,

JOURNAL OF MASS SPECTROMETRY (INCORP BIOLOGICAL MASS SPECTROMETRY), Issue 5 2004

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the dissociation patterns, and in particular the relative abundance of [b3 + 17 + Cat]+, for peptides with C-termini designed to allow transfer of the ,OH required to generate the product ion, but not necessarily as the most favored pathway. Working with the hypothesis that formation of a five-membered ring intermediate, including intramolecular nucleophilic attack by a carbonyl oxygen atom, is an important mechanistic step, several model peptides with general sequence AcFGGX were synthesized, metal cationized by electrospray ionization and subjected to collision-induced dissociation (CID). The amino acid at position X was one that either required a larger ring intermediate (,-alanine, ,-aminobutyric acid and ,-amino- n -caproic acid to generate six-, seven- or nine- membered rings, respectively) to transfer ,OH, lacked a structural element required for nucleophilic attack (aminoethanol) or prohibited cyclization because of the inclusion of a rigid ring (p - and m -aminobenzoic acid). For Ag+, Li+ and Na+ cationized peptides, our results show that amino acids requiring the adoption of larger ring intermediates suppressed the formation of [b3 + 17 + Cat]+, while amino acids that prohibit cyclization eliminated the reaction pathway completely. Formation of [b3 , 1 + Cat]+ from the alkali metal cationized versions was not a favorable process upon suppression or elimination of the [b3 + 17 + Cat]+ pathway: the loss of H2O to form [M , H2O + Cat]+ was instead the dominant dissociation reaction observed. Multiple-stage dissociation experiments suggest that [M , H2O + Cat]+ is not [b4 , 1 + Cat]+ arising from the loss of H2O from the C-terminus, but may instead be a species that forms via a mechanism involving the elimination of an oxygen atom from an amide group.

Nucleophilic Cyclopropanation Reaction with Bis(iodozincio)methane by 1,4-Addition to ,,,-Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds

CHEMISTRY - AN ASIAN JOURNAL, Issue 8 2009
Kenichi Nomura
Abstract Treatment of ,,,-unsaturated ketones with an electrophilic site at the ,-position in the presence of trimethylsilyl cyanide with bis(iodozincio)methane afforded the (Z)-silyl enol ether of the ,-cyclopropyl substituted ketone in good yields. The reaction proceeds by 1,4-addition to form an enolate, and its sequential intramolecular nucleophilic attack to an adjacent electrophilic site. The reaction of ,-ethoxycarbonyl-,,,-unsaturated ketone and bis(iodozincio)methane in the presence of trimethylsilyl cyanide afforded 1-ethoxy-1-trimethylsiloxycyclopropane derivatives, which can be regarded as the homoenolate equivalent. Additionally, reaction of the obtained homoenolate equivalents with imines give 1-(E)-alkenyl-2-(1-aminoalkyl)alkanols diastereoselectively. [source]
