A novel and chemoselective synthesis of substituted 3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-ones from o-oxiranylmethylbenzonitrile intermediates and TBAB/NaCN
摘要:
A novel synthesis of substituted 3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-ones is described. o-Oxiranylmethylbenzonitriles, prepared from isovanillin via five synthetic steps, were treated with NaCN/tetra-n-butylammonium bromide (TBAB) to yield 3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-ones in good yields. This one pot reaction demonstrates the novel and chemoselective nature of ring-opening of epoxide by cyanide to generate an iminoisochroman ring via cyclization, again ring-opening by cyanide to generate a Michael acceptor and a donor, and ring re-cyclization through an intramolecular conjugate addition. The detailed mechanism is also rationally proposed. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A new method for the synthesis of substituted3-alkyl-3,4-dihydroisocoumarins is described. o-(Oxiranylmethyl)benzonitriles, prepared from isovanillin in five steps, when reacted with nucleophiles such as sodiumborohydride or phenylmagnesium chloride/CuI, undergo an intramolecular cyclization to yield the target compounds in good yields, in one pot.
