In(OTf)(3)-Catalyzed One-Pot Tandem Mannich and Conia-Ene Cyclization Reaction of N-Propargyl Amido Alcohols with 1,3-Dicarbonyl Compounds: An Approach To Construct Tetrahydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoindolone-1,1-dicarboxylate and Its Application

摘要

A one-pot tandem reaction has been developed for the synthesis of substituted tetrahydropyrroloisoindolone via Mannich reaction of N-propargyl amido alcohols with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds followed by Conia-ene cyclization reaction in moderate to good yields catalyzed by indium(III)trifiate [In(OTf)(3)]. The reaction is highly regioselective with an exo-cyclic double bond in the pyrrolidine ring. The substituted tetrahydropyrroloisoindolone can be converted to 5H-pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoindol-5-one via decarboxylative aromatization reaction.
