A general and practical three-component regioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of 3-amino-oxindole-based azomethine ylides and coumarins has been developed. This reaction displayed good substrate tolerance and gave a diverse array of biologically relevant spiro[ox-­i­ndole-pyrrolidine-dihydrocoumarin] derivatives bearing four contiguous stereocenters including one spiro quaternary center in moderate to high yields (up to 90%) with high diastereoselectivities (up to 15:1 dr). It is based on the application of carboxylic acid activated coumarins as dienophiles followed by a decarboxylation process. The possible mechanism of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition is proposed via an exo′-transition state. Furthermore, this is the first example of decarboxylative-mediated regioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of 3-amino-oxindole-based azomethine ylides and coumarins.

Inspired by the chemistry and biology of butyrolactones, pyrrolidines and chromanones, herein we successfully developed a simple domino 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of homoserine lactone-derived azomethine ylides for construction of biologically important spiro-[butyrolactone-pyrrolidine-chromanone] hybrids in the presence of the catalyst Et3N under mild conditions. It is based on the application of carboxylic acid activated chromones as dienophiles followed by a decarboxylation process. This reaction displayed good substrate tolerance and gave the desired products in moderate to good yields with high diastereoselectivities via an exo-transition state (up to 85% yield and >20:1 diastereomeric ratio). In particular, this is the first example of introduction of chromanone moiety into spiro [butyrolactone-pyrrolidine] frameworks, which might be valuable in medicinal chemistry.

Cu(OTf)2/DM-Segphos catalyzed asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of benzoisothiazole-2,2-dioxide-3-ylidenes and azomethine ylides was studied. The spiropyrrolidinyl-benzoisothiazolines were obtained in high yields with up to >99 : 1 dr and 99% ee.

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.

Indole is one of the utmost important heterocycles as it is an essential nucleus of many pharmaceutical compounds. Its aza-Michael reaction, however, is underdeveloped because of the moiety’s inherent characteristics. Here, a potassium hydroxide catalysed intermolecular aza-Michael reaction of 3-cyanoindole with aromatic enones is described. A variety of chalcone derivatives are well tolerated and afford the corresponding N-adducts in moderate to high yields. The use of a cheap catalyst, low catalyst loading, mild reaction temperature, and good substrate tolerance make this procedure a direct and facile method for the preparation of N1-functionalized indoles.

Abstract1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides derived from acenaphthylene-1,2-dione and 5- methyl-benzo[b]-thiophene-2,3-dione with L-proline, thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid and 1,2,3,4- tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid with various electron deficient dipolarophiles leads to the formation of novel spiroheterocycles having two or more chiral centers. Semiempirical studies have been performed to understand the stereochemical course of the reaction. The synthesized cycloadducts have been screened for antimicrobial and toxicological activity.

A new series of pyrrolo[3′,4′:3,4]pyrrolo[1,2-a]furoquinolines/phenanthrolines and pyrrolo[1,2-a]phenanthrolines were efficiently built up from an 8-hydroxyquinoline derivative or phenanthroline via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction involving non-stabilized azomethine ylides, generated in situ from the parent furo[3,2-h]quinoliniums/phenanthroliums, in presence of a copper(II) chloride–phenanthroline catalytic system. The methodology combines general applicability with high yields.

Abstract Chiral pyrrolidinyl units are important building blocks in biologically active natural products and drugs, thereupon, searching approaches for the synthesis of diverse structured pyrrolidine derivatives is of great importance. Meanwhile, owing to the special physicochemical properties of fluorine atoms, the introduction of fluorine containing groups into small molecules often change their activities to a great extent. Herein, we reported an efficient route to chiral 3,3-difluoro- and 3,3,4-trifluoropyrrodinyl derivatives by Cu(I)-catalyzed enantioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides with less active 1,1-difluoro- and 1,1,2-trifluoroalkenes. A series of new fluorinated pyrrolidines have been prepared in high yields (up to 96%) and excellent stereoselectivities (up to > 20:1 dr and 97% ee), and these unique structural blocks could be readily introduced into some natural compounds and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, antifungal activity investigation against four common plant funguses showed that some products possess general and high biological activities (up to 93% inhibition rate), the comparison with the antifungal activities of corresponding non-fluorinated compounds (low to 13% inhibition rate) revealed that the fluorine atoms at pyrrolidinyl rings play a crucial role in the antifungal activity, which prove the special properties of fluorine atoms in organic molecules.
