Abstract

An efficient approach to the synthesis of azaspiro compounds having dissymmetric dienone cores was achieved by ipso-iodocyclization of ethoxyethyl ether to alkynes. When the linker was an ether or an ester, domino iodocyclizaion/Diels-Alder reaction proceeded to afford the dimer, which can be transformed into the bridgehead-spiro connection ring system by a domino retro-­Diels-Alder/Diels-Alder process.

Key words

iodocyclization - spiro compounds - heterocycles - domino reaction - Diels-Alder reaction

General Procedure for ipso -Iodocyclization: To a solution of 1a (51.0 mg, 0.150 mmol) in anhydrous CH2Cl2 (1.5 mL) was added NIS (142 mg, 0.600 mmol) followed by BF3˙OEt2 (74 µL, 0.600 mmol) at -40 ˚C. When the reaction was complete, the mixture was diluted with sat. aq Na2S2O3 and the mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel (hexane-EtOAc = 1:1) to give 2a (52.8 mg, 89%).
