Azomethine ylide cycloaddition of 1,3-dienyl esters: highly regio- and diastereoselective synthesis of functionalized pyrrolidinochromenes

An efficient protocol for the synthesis of tricyclic pyrrolidinochromenes has been developed via an intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides generated in situ from 1,3-dienyl ester tethered O-hydroxyarylaldehyde and glycine esters. The reaction is highly regio- and diastereoselective in nature and provided the potentially bioactive pyrrolidine fused tricyclic cycloadducts in excellent yields with wide substrate scope. Interestingly this reaction constructs two rings and four contiguous stereogenic centers in which one of them is an all carbon quaternary center in a unique fashion.

Phosphine-catalyzed sequential (2+3)/(2+4) annulation of γ-vinyl allenoates: access to the synthesis of chromeno[4,3-b]pyrroles

A phosphine-catalyzed cascade (2+3)/(2+4) cyclization reaction of γ-vinyl allenoates with aldimine esters has been developed to provide a series of chromeno[4,3-b]pyrrole derivatives that contain three contiguous stereogenic centers. The method gives a good yield, excellent chemoselectivity and diastereoselectivity under mild conditions.

Diverse synthesis of pyrrolo/indolo[3,2-c]coumarins as isolamellarin-A scaffolds: a brief update

This review presents a different synthetic approach of pyrrolo/indolo[3,2-c]coumarins via classical reactions including metal-catalyzed and green reaction protocols.

Ag(i)/(S,S)-ip-FOXAP catalyzed diastereo- and enantioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides with benzosultam-3-ylidenes

The AgOAc/ip-FOXAP complex catalyzed the highly diastereo- and enantioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides with benzosultam-3-ylidenes to give a single isomer of the exo-cycloadduct in good yields.
