Abstract4-Pyrones bearing electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups react with nonstabilized azomethine ylides to form pyrano[2,3-c]pyrrolidines in moderate to good yields. The reaction proceeds chemoselectively as a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the azomethine ylide at the carbon–carbon double bond of the pyrone activated by the electron-withdrawing substituent. The reactivity of 4-pyrones toward azomethine ylides was rationalized by computational studies with the use of reactivity indexes. The pyrano[2,3-c]pyrrolidine moiety could be modified, for example by a ring-opening transformation under the action of hydrazine to provide pyrazolyl-substituted pyrrolidines.

A simple, efficient and atom-economic method has been developed for the synthesis of complex alkaloid-like compounds with spiro-fused indolo[2,1-b]quinazoline and cyclopropa[a]pyrrolizine or 3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane moieties. We have found that one-pot, three-component 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions allow the desired products to be obtained from various cyclopropene derivatives with tryptanthrin-derived azomethine ylides generated in situ, in good to high yields and excellent diastereoselectivity. The possibility of ylide generation was exemplified by using α-amino acids (l-proline, l-4-thiazolidincarboxylic acid) and simplest peptides (dipeptide Gly-Gly, tripeptide Gly-Gly-Gly). Quantum chemical investigations indicate that the reaction proceeds through the S-shaped azomethine ylide, the interaction of which with cyclopropenes proceeds via a less sterically hindered endo-transition state. The antitumor activity of some of spiro-tryptanthrin derivatives against erythroleukemia (K562), cervical carcinoma (HeLa) and colon carcinoma (CT26) cell lines was evaluated in vitro by MTS-assay.

AbstractAlthough azomethine ylides have been fully exploited as versatile reactive intermediates in dipolar cycloaddition reactions to construct a variety of heterocyclic compounds involving a nitrogen atom, little is known about their structural and electronic properties. Here a method is developed for the preparation, isolation and characterization of a stable 2-azaphenalenyl based azomethine ylide. N-Phenyl-5,8-di-t-butyl-2-azaphenalenyl cannot be isolated because it undergoes rapid dimerization by C–C bond formation at the 1 and 3 positions. In contrast, sterically bulkier N-2,6-di(isopropyl)phenyl-5,8-di-t-butyl-2-azaphenalenyl can be generated and isolated as deep green crystals under deoxygenated conditions. X-ray crystal analysis of this stable azomethine ylide reveals that its azaphenalenyl skeleton has very small bond alternation and structural deformation. The results of spectroscopic and electrochemical theoretical studies indicate that N-2,6-di(isopropyl)phenyl-5,8-di-t-butyl-2-azaphenalenyl has electronic features that are similar to those of phenalenyl anion and it possesses an extremely high HOMO energy.

A series of phthalic anhydrides underwent a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction with N-benzylazomethine ylide to produce unstable spiro(isobenzofuran-1,5′-oxazolidin)-3-ones, which underwent a subsequent reductive ring-opening reaction to afford 1(3H)-isobenzofuranones.

Abstract Different multicomponent 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions (1,3-DC) of cyclic α-amino acid derivatives with aldehydes and dipolarophiles have been described as efficient and simple methodologies for the synthesis of the pyrrolidine unit of pyrrolizidines and indolizidines. When free cyclic α-amino acids are used, a thermal promoted decarboxylative process generates in situ the corresponding non-stabilized azomethine ylides, which afforded the corresponding pyrrolizidines and indolizidines with a hydrogen in the bicyclic units. This methodology has been employed to the synthesis of complex systems including spiro derivatives when ketones are used as carbonyl component. In addition, working with cyclic α-amino acid derived esters, the three-component 1,3-DC takes place under milder reaction conditions giving the corresponding pyrrolizidines and indolizidines with an alkoxycarbonyl group in the bridge adjacent carbon to the nitrogen. This methodology can be carried out by a double consecutive or stepwise 1,3-DC to provide pyrrolizidines via the precursor prolinates. The conformation of the azomethine ylide controls the endo/exo diastereoselectivity of the 1,3-DC.

The rates of reactions of N-aryl-cis-2,3-diphenyl aziridines (4a–d) with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) are dependent only on aziridine concentration suggesting slow conversion of aziridines to azomethine ylides which subsequently react in 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions to yield Δ3-pyrrolines. The Hammett reaction constant (−0.80) determinee for the N-substituents in the slow ring opening further suggests direct generation of azomethine ylides from these aziridines. The stereochemistry of the cycloaddition products derived from cis-1,2,3-triphenylaziridine with DMAD, maleic anhydride, dimethyl maleate, and dimethyl fumarate is consistent with the conrotatory generation of the ylides followed by their stereospecific cis-cis cycloaddition to the dipolarophiles.Similarly, cycloaddition of 7-aryl-6a,7a-dihydroacenaphtha-[1,2]-aziridines (5a–f) with DMAD yields bicyclic Δ3-pyrrolines and the rate is dependent only on aziridine concentration. This suggests the reaction proceeds via a slow disrotatory cleavage of the aziridine rings producing azomethine ylides which undergo subsequent addition to DMAD. The Hammett reaction constant for the ring opening step is +0.74 suggesting that the transition state for the ring cleavage is electron deficient in the aziridinyl ring but the cycloaddition reactions of 5a with isomeric dipolarophiles as well as several dienes and cycloheptatriene reveal only stereospecific 1,2-cycloadditions expected of an azomethine ylide intermediate.
