A cascade reaction of 2-alkynylbenzaldehydes and 2-(4,5-diphenyl-1Himidazol-2-yl)aniline was treated in DMF catalyzed by AgOTf leading to 6,13,14-triaryl-11bH-imidazo[1,2-c] isoquinolino[2,1-a]quinazolines in high yields. This Domino reaction included condensation, cyclization, and acetylenic hydroamination under mild conditions to build fused pentacyclic heterocycle with three new bonds and two new rings.
Aldehyde could undergo not only the subsequent condensation and cyclization with 2‐aminothiophene‐3‐carboxamide to build a pyrimidine ring, but also a Friedel‐Crafts alkylation reaction with thiophene moiety to give unexpected 6‐benzyl‐2‐arylthieno[2,3‐d]pyrimidin‐4(3H)‐ ones in good yields catalyzed by concentrated HCl.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
