The synthesis of functionalized pyranophenalenones
摘要:
Protonation of the highly reactive 1:1 intermediate produced in the reaction between alkyl or aryl isocyanides and electron-deficient acetylenic esters with 3-hydroxy-1H-phenalene-1-one leads to a vinylisonitrilium cation, which undergoes an addition reaction with the conjugate base of the 3-hydroxy-1H-phenalene-1-one to produce biologically interesting dialkyl 10-(alkyl or arylamino)-7-oxo-7H,8H-naphtho[1,8-gh]chromene-8,9-dicarboxylates in moderate to fairly good yields at room temperature.
