Synthesis of 5-alkyl-5-aryl-γ-lactams from 1-aryl-substituted nitroalkanes and methyl acrylate via Michael addition and reductive lactamization
摘要:
A general method for accessing 5-alkyl-5-aryl-gamma-lactams has been developed using readily available aryl bromides, nitroalkanes, and methyl acrylate as the starting materials. The palladium-catalyzed arylation of nitroalkanes gave the 1-aryl-substituted nitroalkanes, which underwent the DBU-mediated Michael addition with methyl acrylate at room temperature to afford the methyl 4-aryl-4-nitroalkanoates. The latter were then subjected to the nitro reduction using NaBH4-NiCl2 center dot 6H(2)O in MeOH at 0 degrees C to furnish, after treatment with aqueous K2CO3 at room temperature, the 5-alkyl-5-aryl-gamma-lactams in good to excellent overall yields. Selected examples of N-alkylation of the gamma-lactams were also illustrated. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A general method for accessing 5-alkyl-5-aryl-1-pyrroline N-oxides (AAPOs) has been established using readily available aryl bromides, nitroalkanes, and acrolein as the starting materials. The palladium-catalyzed arylation of nitroalkanes gave the 1-aryl-substituted nitroalkanes, which underwent the Et3N-catalyzed Michael addition with acrolein at room temperature to afford the 4-aryl-4-nitroaldehydes
[Problem]
A pharmaceutical composition for treating or preventing various cardiovascular diseases, which have sGC activities based on improvement of cGMP signals, is provided.
[Means for Solution]
It was found that imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine compounds having a carbamoyl group at the 3-position and a particular cyclic group at the 8-position via a methyleneoxy group, or a salt thereof have sGC activation, and are useful as active ingredients of pharmaceutical compositions for treating or preventing various sGC-related cardiovascular diseases, in particular, peripheral arterial diseases, intermittent claudication, critical limb ischemia, hypertension, and pulmonary hypertension, thereby completing the present invention.

A general protocol for the Pd-catalyzed-arylation of nitroalkanes is described. Substituted aryl bromides as well as aryl chlorides can be coupled efficiently with a variety of nitroalkanes under mild conditions to selectively yield the monoarylated products. This method tolerates a number of functional groups including ketones, esters, and olefins. Notably, the arylation of nitroalkanes can be effected chemoselectively over ketone and ester arylation.
