Synthesis of Substituted Pyridines from Cascade [1 + 5] Cycloaddition of Isonitriles to N-Formylmethyl-Substituted Enamides, Aerobic Oxidative Aromatization, and Acyl Transfer Reaction
摘要:
A novel strategy for de novo synthesis of pyridines featuring an unprecedented a-addition of aldehyde and enamide to isonitrile as a key step is described. Under mild conditions, a cascade reaction involving Zn(OTf)(2)-promoted [1 + 5] cycloaddition of isonitrile with N-formylmethyl-substituted enamide, facile aerobic oxidative aromatization and intermolecular acyl transfer from the pyridinium nitrogen to the 5-hydroxy oxygen, and finally acylation of the 4-amino group by an external acyl chloride efficiently afforded 2-substituted 4-acylamino-5-acyloxypyridines in good to excellent yields.

Tertiary enamides have long been thought of as stable and marginally valuable enamine variants in synthesis. This notion has been challenged, however, in recent years. Enabling the regulation of the cross-conjugation system of the tertiary enamides has been successfully shown to enhance delocalization of the nitrogen lone-pair electrons into a carbon-carbon double, thereby reinvigorating the enaminic
