Acetylene chemistry, part 32: Alkinylation and cyclic rearrangement of theophylline with unsaturated alcohols by Mitsunobu reaction
摘要:
The reaction of theophylline (I) with 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol and 1-butyn-3-ol under Mitsunobu conditions gave the respective 9-substituted derivatives 9-[2-(2-methyl-3-butynyl)]-theophylline (2) and 9-[2-(3-butynyl)]-theophylline (3). On reaction with 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol, theophylline yielded in addition to the 9-[2-(2-methyl-3-butenyl)]-theophylline (4), two more cyclic products, identified as 1,5,5a,8-tetrahydro-1,3,8,8-tetramethyl--2H-pyrrolo[1,2-e]purine-2,4(3H)-dione (5) and 8a,9-dihydro-1,3,6,6-tetramethyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,1-f]purine-2,4(3H, 6H)-dione (7).
