A Short Preparation of Pyrroloquinoxalinones via a Cascade Reaction of N-Aryl-5-alkylamino-2-nitrosoanilines with Methyl 2-Cyanoalkanoates: Unexpected Direction of Nucleophilic Substitution of Hydrogen
摘要:
N-Aryl-2-nitrosoanilines possessing 5-alkylamino groups undergo a bisheteroannulation reaction with anions of 2-cyanoalkanecarboxylates resulting in pyrroloquinoxalinone derivatives. The cascade reaction involves condensation of the cyanoester anions with the nitroso group, unusual nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen in the nitrosoaniline-derived intermediate with the second carbanion molecule, and double intramolecular acylation of the amino functions.
