A retro Diels–Alder method for the preparation of pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrimidinediones from diexo-aminooxanorbornenecarboxamide
Abstract Through the reactions of diexo-3-amino-7-oxanorbornene-2-carboxamide 1 with the oxocarboxylic acids: 4-oxopentanoic acid, p-chlorobenzoylpropionic acid or 2-formylbenzoic acid, the pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrimidinediones 2 and 3 or pyrimido[1,2-a]isoindoledione 4 were formed on cyclization and thermolysis, when the parent cycles decomposed via the loss of furan to give 2–4 in a retro Diels–Alder reaction. With cis-or trans-2-aroylcyclohexanecarboxylic acids as starting compounds, the 1-aroylhexahydroisoindol-3-ones (5–8) were formed; the phenyl-substituted derivatives gave diastereomeric mixtures. The structures of the new compounds were established by NMR spectroscopy and, for 3 and 6, als…
Indoloquinolines, Indolobenzoxazines and Quinazolophthalazines Prepared from Norbornane/eneamino Acids and Hydrazides
The reactions of di-endo- and di-exo-aminonorbornane/enecarboxylic acids 1–4 with ethyl 2-(2-oxocyclohexyl)acetate afforded methanoindoloquinolines 5, 6, 8, and 9, the oxo ester participating as a two-membered sp2 building block. In the cases of di-exo- and di-endo-aminonorbornenecarboxylic acids 2 and 4, methanoindolobenzoxazinediones 7 and 10 were also formed; compound 7 was also isolated from the mother liquor of 10. The reactions of ethyl 2-(2-oxocyclohexyl)acetate with aminonorbornane/enecarbohydrazides 11–14 result in the methanoquinazolophthalazines 15–18. The structures of the compounds were elucidated by NMR spectroscopy, and for 6, 7, 8, and 10 also by X-ray crystallography. (© Wi…
