Abstract

Azomethines, easily prepared from 5-(R)-furfurals and 1,3- or 1,2-amino alcohols (aminothiols), react under mild conditions with maleic anhydride affording 8,10a-epoxy[1,3]oxa(thia)-zino[2,3-a]isoindole-7- and 7,9a-epoxy[1,3]oxa(thia)zolo[2,3-a]isoindole-6-carboxylic acids. The reaction proceeds through initial N-acylation with subsequent intramolecular exo-Diels-Alder cycloaddition and stereoselectively leads to the exo adducts. The ‘one-pot’ synthetic protocol is also presented.

Key words

furan - Diels-Alder reaction - stereoselective synthesis - [1,3]oxazolo[2,3-a]isoindoles - [1,3]oxazino[2,3-a]isoindoles - IMDAF

Synthesis of Epoxy[1,3]oxazino[2,3- a ]isoindole-7-carboxylic acids (3a-f): Typical Procedure by Way of Example (6a R *,7 S *,8 R *,10a S *,10b R *)-8-Bromo-6-oxo-3,4,6,6a,7,8-hexahydro-2 H -8,10a-epoxy[1,3]oxazino[2,3- a ]isoindole-7-carboxylic acid (3Ac) and (6a R *,7 S *,8 R *,10a S *,10b S *)-8-Bromo-6-oxo-3,4,6,6a,7,8-hexahydro-2 H -8,10a-epoxy[1,3]oxazino[2,3- a ]isoindole-7-carboxylic acid (3Bc) To a stirred solution of 5-bromofurfural (5.0 g, 29 mmol) and 3-aminopropanol (2.2 mL, 29 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (50 mL) anhyd MgSO4 powder (7 g, 60 mmol) was added at r.t. After ca. 24 h, the MgSO4 was filtered off and the CH2Cl2 evaporated. The residue was diluted with acetone (30 mL), and then a solution of maleic anhydride (3.13 g, 32 mmol) in acetone (20 mL) was added. The resulting yellow transparent mixture was kept for ca. 4 h at 24 ˚C. Then the yellow precipitate was filtered off, washed twice with acetone (2 ¥ 20 mL), and dried in air to give the title acids 3c as a white powder (3.9 g, 41% yield).
