Facile Access to Ring-Fused Aminals via Direct α-Amination of Secondary Amines with o-Aminobenzaldehydes: Synthesis of Vasicine, Deoxyvasicine, Deoxyvasicinone, Mackinazolinone, and Ruteacarpine
摘要:
Secondary amines undergo redox-neutral reactions with aminobenzaldehydes under conventional and microwave heating to furnish polycyclic aminals via amine alpha-amination/N-alkylation. This unique alpha-functionalization reaction proceeds without the involvement of transition metals or other additives. The resulting aminal products are precursors for various quinazolinone alkaloids and their analogues.

We have performed a combined computational and experimental study to elucidate the mechanism of a metal-free alpha-amination of secondary amines. Calculations predicted azaquinone methides and azomethine ylides as the reactive intermediates and showed that iminium ions are unlikely to participate in these transformations. These results were confirmed by experimental deuterium-labeling studies and the successful trapping of the postulated azomethine ylide and azaquinone methide intermediates. In addition, computed barrier heights for the rate-limiting step correlate qualitatively with experimental findings.

acetate/acetic acid/O2 and potassium iodide/tert-butylhydroperoxide systems are shown to affect the selective oxidation of ring-fused aminals to dihydroquinazolines and quinazolinones, respectively. These methods enable the facile preparation of a number of quinazoline alkaloid natural products and their analogues.
