A manganese(II) acetate‐catalyzed domino reaction of vinyl azides and 4‐hydroxycoumarin has been developed for the synthesis of polyfunctionalized spirofuranone‐lactams. A wide range of vinyl azides are capable of providing the desired spirofuranone‐lactams in good to excellent yields. The reaction was achieved via thermal decomposition of vinyl azides to 2H‐azirines, followed by an intramolecular
A novel, convenient and economical protocol to prepare polyfunctionalized benzo[f]indole-4,9-diones catalyzed by Mn(II) acetate from vinyl azides and 2-hydroxynaphthoquinone has been achieved. This reaction proceeded in good to excellent yields for a wide range of vinyl azides, and a possible mechanism has also been proposed. (C) 2015 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
Copper-catalyzed tandem synthesis of [1,2,3]triazolo[5,1-a]isoquinolines and their transformation to 1,3-disubstituted isoquinolines
2-Azido-3-(2-iodophenyl)acrylates react with terminal alkynes in the presence of a copper(II) catalyst without ligands to give a wide range of [1,2,3]triazolo[5,1-a]isoquinolines in good yields. These compounds favor expulsion of N-2 in refluxed acetic acid to form 1,3-disubstituted isoquinolines. The procedure is simple, economical, and efficient. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Domino Approach for the Synthesis of Pyrrolo[1,2-α]pyrazine from Vinyl Azides
A domino synthesis of pyrrolo[1,2-alpha]pyrazine from 1H-2-pyrrolecarbaldehyde and readily synthesized vinyl azides was developed. This reaction proceeded under relatively mild conditions in the presence of base. Additionally, a possible mechanism for the entire sequence is proposed.
