N-Methylimidazole Promotes the Reaction of Homophthalic Anhydride with Imines
نویسندگان
چکیده
The addition of N-methylimidazole (NMI) to the reaction of homophthalic anhydride with imines such as pyridine-3-carboxaldehyde-N-trifluoroethylimine (9) reduces the amount of elimination byproduct and improves the yield of the formal cycloadduct, tetrahydroisoquinolonic carboxylate 10. Carboxanilides of such compounds are of interest as potential antimalarial agents. A mechanism that rationalizes the role of NMI is proposed, and a gram-scale procedure for the synthesis and resolution of 10 is also described.

A speedy route to sterically encumbered, benzene-fused derivatives of privileged, naturally occurring hexahydropyrrolo[1,2-b]isoquinoline
A series of 15 benzene-fused hexahydropyrrolo[1,2-b]isoquinolonic acids with substantial degree of steric encumbrance has been prepared via a novel variant of the Castagnoli-Cushman reaction of homophthalic anhydride (HPA) and various indolenines. The employment of a special kind of a cyclic imine component reaction allowed, for the first time, isolating a Mannich-type adduct between HPA and an...

A simple, efficient and clean procedure has been developed for the cleavage of imines C=N bond. Deprotection of imines to their parent carbonyl and amine compounds was achieved using p-toluenesulfonic acid in the solid state condition at 25-45 ˚C. The salient features of this methodology are shorter reaction times, cheap processing, high yields of product and easy availability of the catalyst. ...

متن کاملREACTION OF QUINONEIMINES WITH KETENES
The reactivity of quinoneimines towards ketene and diphenylketene was examined. N-Phenylbenzoquinoneirnines (I), (2) and also N-phenylnaphthoquinoneimine react with ketene to give the spiro-adducts (5), (7) and (1 1) respectively. These adducts were stable even after prolonged heating in high boiling solvent. Reaction of the above imines with diphenylketene also afforded 13- lactam spiro-a...
