Exploration of C5–C6-Unsubstituted 1,4-Dihydropyridines for the Construction of exo-Hexahydro-1H-chromeno[3,4-h][1,6]naphthyridine-3-carboxylates Using a Stereoselective Povarov Reaction

This work is dedicated to my mentor, retired Professor Dr. R. R. Schmidt, Department of Chemistry, University of Konstanz, Germany, on the occasion of his 80th birthday.�

Abstract

A wide variety of substituted exo-hexahydro-1H-chromeno[3,4-h][1,6]naphthyridine-3-carboxylate derivatives have been synthesized from 3-aminocoumarins, aldehydes, and 5,6-unsubstituted 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives in the presence of 10 mol% of ytterbium(III) triflate in acetonitrile at room temperature using a one-pot Povarov reaction. Some of the salient features of this protocol are: good yields and no need for an aqueous workup procedure or chromatographic separation.

Key words

aromatic aldehydes - 1,4-dihydropyridines - 3-aminocoumarin - Povarov reaction - ytterbium(III) triflate
