Aqueous NH3-mediated syntheses of 2-styrylquinoline-4-carboxamides by domino ring opening cyclization strategy
摘要:
A straightforward and efficient protocol for the synthesis of medicinally relevant 2-styrylquinoline-4-carboxamide has been developed by aqueous ammonia-mediated domino ring-opening and cyclization strategy of 3-hydroxyoxindole. The starting precursors 3-hydroxyoxindoles were easily prepared through organocatalytic "on water" reaction of isatin and benzalacetone in high yields. The wide substrate scope with operationally simple experimental procedures provides an opportunity to create library of 2-styrylquinoline-4-carboxamide derivatives.
An efficient approach for the synthesis of 3-substituted-3-hydroxy-2-oxindoles has been achieved via an aldol reaction of α,β-unsaturated ketones and isatins using arginine as an organocatalyst. A range of 3-substituted-3-hydroxy-2-oxindoles were obtained in moderate to high (up to 99%) yields. These 3-substituted-3-hydroxy-2-oxindoles with an additional enone moiety provide an opportunity for further elaboration of the products and for potentially interesting biological activities. In addition, the formation of 3-substituted-3-hydroxy-2-oxindole 3a was confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The possible reaction mechanism reveals that the reaction proceeds via a double action process.
A novel series of C3-functionalized oxindoles, 3-(2-oxo-4-phenylbut-3-en-1-ylidene) indolin-2-ones as potential Pim-1 kinase inhibitors, were designed, synthesized and investigated for inhibition of human cancer-cell proliferation.
