Novel Synthesis of Pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline Using the Reaction of Isoquinolinium Salts with Active Methylene Compounds
摘要:
2-Alkyl-1-methylthioisoquinolinium salts were easily prepared from 2alkyl-1(2H)-isoquinolones via 2-alkyl-1(2H)-thioisoquinolones in two steps. Under mild conditions, the reaction of 2-alkyl-1-methylthioisoquinolinium salts with active methylene compounds in the presence of sodium hydride afforded 2-alkyl-1-(substituted methylene)isoquinolines in good yields. The cyclization of 2-benzylisoquinolines using acetic anhydride produced the pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines. Further, the reaction of 1-chloro-2-phenacylisoquinolinium salt with active methylene compounds afforded the pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines in one pot.
