Abstract

Synthesis of a series of novel acyclo-C-nucleoside analogues bearing substituted pyridines, dihydro-6H-quinolin-5-ones, dihydro-5H-cyclopentapyridin-5-one, tetrahydrocyclohepta[b] pyr­idine-5-one, and azafluorinone has been achieved in very good yields, through CeCl3˙7H2O-NaI-catalyzed one-pot condensation of a variant of the Bohlmann-Rahtz reaction using β-enaminones derived from l-rhamnose, acyclic and cyclic 1,3-dicarbonyls, and ammonium acetate. Ready availability of reactive β-enaminones, use of a cerium catalyst, and shorter reaction times are the advantages of this protocol over previous methodology. A plausible mechanism invoking cerium-catalyzed sequential Michael addition-cyclode­hydration-elimination reactions is also presented.
