Abstract
Selective dehydrogenation reactions of tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives through electrochemical oxidation are disclosed. In the presence of nitric acid, the selective partial dehydrogenation of tetrahydroisoquinolines to form 3,4-dihydroisoquinolines was achieved via anodic oxidation. The results of CV (Cyclic Voltammograms) experiments and DFT calculations showed the 3,4-dihydroisoquinolines protonated by an external Brønsted acid to be less prone than their unprotonated counterparts to oxidation under electrochemical conditions, thus avoiding their further dehydrogenation. Moreover, a TEMPO-mediated electrochemical oxidation enabled a complete dehydrogenation to yield fully aromatized isoquinolines. Thus, tunable processes involving electrochemical dehydrogenation of tetrahydroisoquinolines could be used to selectively produce various 3,4-dihydroisoquinolines and isoquinoline derivatives.

The most Recent Compilation of Reactions of Enaminone Derivatives with various Amine Derivatives to Generate Biologically Active Compounds. Mini Rev Med Chem 2024; 24:793-843. [PMID: 37711104 DOI: 10.2174/1389557523666230913164038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2023] [Revised: 07/23/2023] [Accepted: 07/24/2023] [Indexed: 09/16/2023]
Abstract
Heterocyclic derivatives serve as the fundamental components of both natural and synthetic drugs. Enaminones play a crucial role as foundational units in the synthesis of numerous bioactive heterocyclic compounds, including pyrazoles, pyridines, oxazoles, isoxazoles, as well as fused heterocyclic structures like indoles, carbazoles, quinolines, acridines, and phenanthridines. These diverse heterocyclic rings are well-known for their various therapeutic activities, encompassing anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antidepressant, and antiviral properties. By reacting with nitrogenbased nucleophiles, enaminones can generate bioactive azoles, azines, and their fused systems. This study focuses on the recent advancements in enaminone reactions with (a) nitrogen-based nucleophiles, such as aliphatic amines, derivatives of aniline, heterocyclic amines, hydroxylamine, hydrazine derivatives, guanidine derivatives, urea, and thiourea derivatives, and (b) nitrogen-based electrophiles, such as diazonium salts. These reactions have led to the synthesis of a wide range of bioactive fused heterocyclic compounds from 2010 to the end of 2022.

Abstract
A wide range of N-(ethoxycarbonylmethyl)enaminones, prepared by the Eschenmoser sulfide contraction between N-(ethoxycarbonylmethyl)pyrrolidine-2-thione and various bromomethyl aryl and heteroaryl ketones, underwent cyclization in the presence of silica gel to give ethyl 6-(hetero)aryl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolizine-5-carboxylates within minutes upon microwave heating in xylene at 150 °C. Instead of functioning as a nucleophile, the enaminone acted as an electrophile at its carbonyl group during the cyclization. Yields of the bicyclic products were generally above 75%. The analogous microwave-assisted reaction to produce ethyl 2-aryl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroindolizine-3-carboxylates from (E)-ethyl 2-[2-(2-oxo-2-arylethylidene)piperidin-1-yl]acetates failed in nonpolar solvents, but occurred in ethanol at lower temperature and microwave power, although requiring much longer time. A possible mechanism for the cyclization is presented, and further functionalization of the newly created pyrrole ring in the dihydropyrrolizine core is described.

Abstract
An unprecedented C(CO)-C(Ar) bond cleavage of β-enaminones has been realized under mild and transition-metal-free conditions. The cascade transformation based on this C-C bond cleavage involves 1,3-O/C migration and aerobic hydroxylation and leads to various 5-hydroxy-1H-pyrrol-2(5H)-ones with broad functional group tolerance. The application of this methodology has been showcased by preparing 5-alkoxy-1H-pyrrol-2(5H)-one derivatives and a pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolin-3-one derivative.
