A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Study of the Ammonium Bifluoride Catalyzed Regioselective Synthesis of Quinoxalines and Pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazines
摘要:
Ammonium bifluoride was efficiently used at a 0.5 mol% loading to catalyze the cyclocondensation of 1,2-arylenediamines with 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds at room temperature in methanol-water to give quinoxalines or pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazines in excellent yields. Importantly, 2,8-disubstituted quinoxalines and 3-substituted pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazines were regioselectively formed by the reaction of arylglyoxals with 3-methylbenzene-1,2-diamine or pyridine-2,3-diamine, respectively. An analysis of the density functional theory reactivity indices explained the catalytic role of ammonium bifluoride.
A room-temperature procedure using saccharin as catalyst has been described for the cyclocondensation of different 1,2-arylenediamines with various 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds, yielding either quinoxalines or pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazines. The reactions proceed in very short reaction times in methanol, and the target heterocycles are isolated in quantitative yields after addition of water, filtration, and drying. Substituted pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazines can also be reached regioselectively by reacting -ketoaldehydes with 2,3-diaminopyridine. [Supplementary materials are available for this article.
