Abstract

A novel method for the combinatorial finding of multi component reactions involving replacements of oligomerisation participants is introduced. Using this method the new three-component reaction between isoquinoline, gem-diactivated olefins and isocyanides leading to substituted 2,3-dihydro-10H-pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline-1-ones is described.

General Procedure. According to the classical experiment, [7a] a mixture of 0.1 mmol of each of the compounds: isoquinoline and two unsaturated starting materials were stirred in 0.13 mL of Et2O for 48 h at 20 °C. After evaporation of solutions to dryness the residua were analyzed by HPLC. In the case of the products 12, the crude mixtures were purified by crystallisation or flash-chromatography.

HPLC Analysis of the Reaction Products. The final mixtures were analyzed by reversed-phase HPLC with detection at 230 nm. The chromatography was performed on a Hewlett-Packard HP 1090 apparatus equipped with a diode-array detector. A reverse-phase column was used (Hypersil® BDS C18, 3µ, 50 × 4.6 mm) under an optimized binary gradient acetonitrile/water, flow 1 mL/min. To validate the analytical method, some products and starting materials were characterized separately. The peaks were assigned to the corresponding products by comparison to the retention time and UV profiles.
