Synthesis of Pyrrolo[2,3-c]isoquinolines via the Cycloaddition of Benzyne with Arylideneaminopyrroles: Photophysical and Crystallographic Study (original) (raw)

Simple preparation of new N-(6-methyl-2-nitrophenyl-1,2,3,4- tetrahydroquinolin-4-yl) pyrrolidin-2-ones and their spectroscopic analysis

To prepare new N-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolin-4-yl) pyrrolidin-2-one molecules and to characterize them by spectroscopic methods. Materials and methods. All reagents were purchased from Aldrich, commercial grade. The purity of the products and the composition of the reaction mixtures were monitored by thin layer chromatography over Silufol UV254 chromatoplates (0.25 mm). Product isolation and purification were performed by column chromatography (SiO2) using ethyl acetate. Results. Preparation of new N-(2-nitrophenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolin-4-yl) pyrrolidin-2-ones has been achieved via the one-pot synthesis, based on a BiCl3-catalyzed imino Diels-Alder cycloaddition reaction of toluidine, N-vinylpyrrolidin-2-one and 4-nitro- or 3-nitrobenzaldehydes. The structure of the pyrrolidine derivatives was confirmed by 1H nmr and 13C nmr studies, in addition to inverse-detected 2D NMR experiments and monocrystal X-ray diffraction. Conclusions. An efficient, economic, and fast synthetic route (multi-component imino Diels-Alder reaction) was employed in the construction of several new tetrahydroquinoline derivatives, useful and attractive rigid skeleton with well-defined stereochemistry.

Synthesis and Photophysical Properties of 2-Aryl-6,8-bis(arylethenyl)-4-methoxyquinolines

Molecules, 2012

Iodine-methanol mediated oxidative-aromatization of 2-aryl-6,8-dibromo-2,3dihydroquinolin-4(1H)-ones afforded the corresponding 2-aryl-6,8-dibromo-4-methoxyquinolines in high yield and purity. The isomeric 1-(2-amino-3,5-dibromophenyl)-3-aryl-2propen-1-ones reacted with iodine in methanol afford in a single pot operation the corresponding 2-aryl-6,8-dibromo-4-methoxyquinoline (major) and 2-aryl-6,8dibromoquinolin-4(1H)-one (minor) products that were separated in sequence by column chromatography on silica gel. Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of the 6,8-dibromo-4methoxyquinoline derivatives with excess arylvinylboronic acids afforded the corresponding 2-aryl-6,8-bis(2-arylethenyl)-4-methoxyquinolines. The absorption and fluorescence properties of these compounds were also determined.

A new approach towards the synthesis of pyrrolo[2,1- a]isoquinolines

Tetrahedron Letters, 2010

Reaction of 5-bromo-2-methyl-8-nitro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline with activated alkynes affords stable tetrahydropyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolin-4-ium ylides. Further reactions of ylide 2 gives access to substituted dihydropyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines in good yields.

Synthesis and photophysical insights of new fused N-heterocyclic derivatives with isoquinoline skeleton

Journal of Molecular Liquids, 2020

Six new fused isoquinoline based compounds (compounds 5a-c with pyrrolo[2,1-a] isoquinoline structure and compounds 6a-c with imidazo[2,1-a]isoquinoline skeleton) have been synthesized using the [3 + 2] cycloaddition of the several in situ generated cycloimmonium ylides to ethyl propiolate or ethyl cyanoformate. All the synthesized compounds have been investigated in solution by UV-VIS absorption, steady and time-resolved fluorescence methods. The effect of the substituents on the spectral characteristics has been demonstrated. These derivatives displayed an intense emission between 360 and 420 nm. The emission quantum yields (Φ = 0.54-0.64) of pyrroloisoquinoline derivatives in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) were significantly higher than those of imidazoquinolines (0.03-0.16). The fluorescence decay of isoquinoline derivatives follows a biexponential law. A noticeable response of these isoquinoline derivatives to sodium hydroxide was observed.
