Abstract

Depending on the structure of amine, the multicomponent Domino reaction of β-ketoester 1 with acrolein 2 and various primary amines 3, in the presence of 4Å MS, leads either to 1,6-hydronaphthyridines 4 or amino azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanones 5 in a one-pot sequence. The stereoselective reduction of compounds 4 to provide new functionalized 1,6-trans-diazadecalins 6 is also reported.

  • 30 The Michael adduct can be obtained by reaction of 1 with acroleine in the presence of Dowex resins. When this 1,5-dicarbonyl intermediate reacts with primary amines, related naphthyridine derivatives 4 and azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanones 5 are formed. For more experimental details, see: Simon C. Peyronel J.-F. Clerc F. Rodriguez J. Eur. J. Org. Chem.  2002,  3359 
  • 31 Under these reaction conditions, another mechanistic pathway involving an imine resulting from acrolein and primary amine may be postulated. Nevertheless, although it is known that acyclic 1,3-dicarbonyls react with 3-substituted 1-aza-1,3-butadienes under acidic conditions, it has also been reported that simple enimines derived from acrolein or α,β-unsaturated ketones were not isolable. Therefore, these imines are likely not to be reactive intermediates in our MCR. For more details on such reported results, see: Geirsson JKF. Johannesdottir JF. J. Org. Chem.  1996,  61:  7320
