Facile Synthesis of Azaspirocycles via Iron Trichloride-Promoted Cyclization/Chlorination of Cyclic 8-Aryl-5-aza-5-tosyl-2-en-7-yn-1-ols
摘要:
A simple and efficient FeCl3-promoted cyclization/chlorination of cyclic tosylamine-tethered 8-aryl-2-en-7-yn-1-ols was observed. The reaction proceeded instantaneously at 23 degrees C in air to afford (Z)-4-(arylchloromethylene)-substituted azaspirocycles in good to excellent yields. This transformation can also be applied to the synthesis of spirocarbocyclic analogues from cyclic 8-aryl-2-en-7-yn-1-ols and FeCl3.
