Studies on the sequential multi-component coupling/Diels–Alder cycloaddition reaction
摘要:
The synthesis of highly functionalized oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptadiene derivatives through the sequential Use of all Ugi or Passerini multi-component coupling reaction followed by an intramolecular acetylene/furan Diels-Alder reaction was investigated. The nature of the heteroatom in the tether was determined to play a critical role. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
Brønsted Acidity of Substrates Influences the Outcome of Passerini Three-Component Reactions
摘要:
Passerini three-component reactions of aldehydes, isocyanides, and strong carboxylic acids (i.e., pK(a) < 2) yield alpha-acyloxycarboxamides and/or alpha-acylaminocarbox amides, the characteristic products of Ugi four-component reactions. We propose that alpha-acylaminocarboxamide formation with these substrates is a consequence of in situ Bronsted acid-catalyzed reaction of the isocyanide and aldehyde to yield an imine that participates in an Ugi-type reaction. The apparent transfer of the isocyanide alpha-carbon to protic solvents as a formyl group during imine formation is indicative of new isocyanide reactivity.
