Abstract

A facile one-pot synthesis of indolizine, benzofused indolizines {pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoline and pyrrolo[1,2-a]isoquinoline} derivatives from the Baylis-Hillman (B-H) bromides, via an interesting strategy involving 1,5-cyclization of nitrogen ylides has been described.

Key words

Baylis-Hillman bromides - 1,5-cyclization strategy - indolizines - benzofused indolizines - quinoline - isoquinoline

1-Aza-8-cyano-7-phenylbicyclo[4.3.0]nona-2,4,6,8-tetraene (2a) - Representative Procedure
To 2-(bromomethyl)-3-phenylprop-2-enenitrile [¹0] (1 mmol, 0.222 g) pyridine (3 mL) was added and stirred for 15 min (formation of pyridinium salt was observed as shown by TLC) at r.t. The reaction mixture was diluted with DMF (3 mL) and K₂CO₃ (5 mmol, 0.690 g) was added. The reaction mixture was then heated at 80 ˚C for 3 h and was allowed to cool to r.t. Saturated aq NaCl soln (5 mL) was added and extracted with CH₂Cl₂ (5 × 10 mL). The combined organic layer was dried over anhyd Na₂SO₄. Solvent was evaporated, and the residue, thus obtained, was purified by column chromatography (SiO₂, 5% EtOAc in hexanes) to furnish the pure compound 2a as a colorless solid. Yield 52% (0.114 g); mp 128-130 ˚C. ^¹H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl₃): δ = 6.60-6.70 (m, 1 H), 6.77-6.86 (m, 1 H), 7.32-7.40 (m, 1 H), 7.46-7.53 (m, 2 H), 7.56-7.68 (m, 3 H), 7.74 (s, 1 H), 7.88 (d, 1 H, J = 7.2 Hz). ^¹³C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl₃): δ = 96.94, 113.60, 116.22, 117.46, 118.16, 118.92, 120.05, 125.31, 127.15, 128.67, 129.00, 129.68, 132.56.

To a stirred solution of 2-(bromomethyl)-3-phenylprop-2-enenitrile (1 mmol, 0.222 g) in DMF (3 mL) was added quinoline (2 mmol, 0.258 g) at r.t. After stirring for 1 h (salt formation was observed as evidenced by TLC), K₂CO₃ (5 mmol, 0.690 g) was added and heated for 5 h at 80 ˚C. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to r.t. and diluted with sat. aq NaCl soln (5 mL) and extracted with CH₂Cl₂ (5 × 10 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over anhyd Na₂SO₄. Solvent was evaporated, and the residue, thus obtained, was purified by column chromatography (SiO₂, 8% EtOAc in hexanes) to furnish the pure compound 3a as a colorless solid.
