Stereoselective Synthesis of Functionalized Benzooxazepino[5,4-a]isoindolone Derivatives via Cesium Carbonate Catalyzed Formal [5 + 2] Annulation of 2-(2-Hydroxyphenyl)isoindoline-1,3-dione with Allenoates
Abstract:In this work, we present a strategy for the stereoselective synthesis of functionalized benzooxazepino[5,4- a]isoindolone derivatives via a CsCO-catalyzed domino β-addition and γ-aldol reaction of 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)isoindoline-1,3-dione derivatives with allenoates, which offers an avenue for a combination of the structural unity between benzooxazepine and isoindolone motifs in synthetically useful yields with high stereoselectivities under mild conditions. Remarkably, it is the first example of highly stereos… Show more
We report on cyclic imides as weak directing groups for selective mono-hydroxylation reactions using ruthenium catalysis. Whereas acyclic amides are known to promote the hydroxylation of the C(sp 2)-H bond enabling 5-membered ring ruthenacycle intermediates, the cyclic imides studied herein enabled the hydroxylation of the C(sp 2)-H bond via a larger 6-membered ruthenacycle intermediates. Furthermore, mono-hydroxylated products were exclusively obtained (even in the presence of over-stoichiometric amounts of reagents), which was rationalized by the difficulty to accommodate co-planar intermediates once the first hydroxyl group was introduced into the substrate. The same reactivity was observed in the presence of palladium catalysts. ASSOCIATED CONTENT Supporting Information.

“…The class of chemical compounds the title compound belongs to has members that are important intermediates for the synthesis of isoindolinone compounds and can be used to prepare fluoresce and biologically active molecules [3,4]. They can participate in the synthesis of alkaloids Aspernidine A and Aspernidine B for the preparation of anticancer drugs and antiviral drugs [5,6].…”
“…[25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] In addition, it has been reported that allenes can react with nucleophilic compounds in the presence of carbonate catalysis (Scheme 1). [34][35][36] Shi and co-workers utilized allene esters and ketones to establish the rst synthesis of chromenes via [4 + 2] cycloaddition assisted by nitrogen-based catalysts such as DABCO and DBU (Scheme 2a). [37][38][39] In 2015, Tong and co-workers reported the synthesis of 4H-chromenes from d-acetoxy allenoates with salicylaldehyde derivatives in an amine-catalyzed reaction (Scheme 2b).…”
A new asymmetric method for the synthesis of highly functionalized 4H-chromenes was developed via Group-Assisted Purification (GAP) chemistry and shown in good to high yield and excellent diastereoselectivity.
