Proton- and iodine-induced cyclization of 2-(pent-4-en-1-yl)quinazolin-4(3H)-ones: synthesis of pyrrolo[2,1-b]quinazolinone and pyrido[1,2-a]quinazolinone derivatives
摘要
2-(Pent-4-en-1-yl)quinazolin-4(3H)-ones in CF3SO3H solution undergo preferential cyclization into 1-ethyl-2,3-dihydropyrrolo[2,1-b]quinazolin-9(1H)-ones via the intermediate rearrangement in the alkenyl moiety, while 9-methyl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-11H-pyrido[2,1-b]quinazolin-11-ones are minor products. Iodocyclization of 2-(pent-4-en-1-yl)quinazolin-4(3H)-ones proceeds according to the 6-exo-trig cyclization mode to form 1-(iodomethyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-6H-pyrido[1,2-a]quinazolin-6-ones, which are further converted to their hexahydro derivatives by the diastereoselective reduction with NaBH4.
