Dearomatization of electron poor six-membered N-heterocycles through [3+2] annulation with aminocyclopropanes

Jérôme Waser, Johannes Preindl, Shyamal Chakrabarty

Many abundant and highly bioactive natural alkaloids contain an indolizidine skeleton. A simple, high yielding method to synthesize this scaffold from N-heterocycles was developed. A wide range of pyridines, quinolines and isoquinolines reacted with donor- ...

Chiral Phosphoric Acid-Catalyzed Enantioselective Formal [3+2] Cycloaddition of Azomethine Imines with Enecarbamates

Jieping Zhu, Qian Wang, Yang Wang

The first catalytic asymmetric inverse electron demand 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine imines with enecarbamates has been developed. Isoquinolinefused pyrazolidines containing two or three contiguous stereogenic centers were obtained in high yields ...

Switchable [3+2] and [4+2] Heteroannulation of Primary Propargylamines with Isonitriles to Imidazoles and 1,6-Dihydropyrimidines: Catalyst Loading Enabled Reaction Divergence

Jieping Zhu, Qian Wang, Shuo Tong

Isonitrile 1 due to its carbene-like reactivity serves generally as a one-carbon synthon in a diverse set of organic transformations. We report in this article that the isocyano group can also act as a polarized triple bond to undergo, as a two-atom syntho ...

1-Alkynyltriazenes as Functional Analogues of Ynamides

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Jérôme Waser, Gregor Kiefer, Loïc Nicolas Jeanbourquin, Sophie Lucie Racine, Daniele Perrotta, Florian Gérald Abela

The chemical reactivity of 1-alkynyltriazenes has been investigated and is found to parallel the reactivity of ynamides. The similarity in reactivity of these two classes of compounds is demonstrated by addition reactions with acids, by cycloaddition react ...

2-(Methoxycarbonyl)ethyl as a Removable N-Protecting Group: Synthesis of Indoloisoquinolinones by Pd(II)-Catalyzed Intramolecular Diamination of Alkynes

Jieping Zhu, Qian Wang, Bo Yao, Minh Tu Ha

Pd(II)-catalyzed double cyclization of 1,2-diarylethynes bearing an N-methyl-N-[2-(methoxycarbonyl)ethyl]amino and an aminocarbonyl group at the ortho positions of the two aromatic rings afforded the tetracyclic N-[2-(methoxycarbonyl)-ethyl]indoloisoquinol ...
