A straightforward and one-pot synthesis of pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,3-diones via Ag(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides with N-alkyl maleimide, followed by readily complete oxidation with DDQ, has been successfully developed. Further transformation with alkylamine/sodium alkoxide alcohol solution conveniently afforded novel polysubstituted pyrroles in good to excellent yields. This methodology for highly functionalized pyrroles performed well over a broad scope of substrates. It is conceivable that this efficient construction method for privileged pyrrole scaffolds could deliver more active compounds for medicinal chemistry research.

<p>In this manuscript we describe a modular pathway to synthesize biologically relevant (–)-<i>trans</i>-Δ<sup>8</sup>-THC derivatives, which can be used to modulate the pharmacologically important CB<sub>1</sub> and CB<sub>2</sub> receptors. This pathway involves a one-pot Friedel-Crafts alkylation/cyclization protocol, followed by Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions and gives rise to a series of new Δ<sup>8</sup>-THC derivatives. In addition, we demonstrate using extensive NMR evidence that similar halide-substituted Friedel-Crafts alkylation/cyclization products in previous articles were wrongly assigned as the para-isomers, which also has consequence for the assignment of the subsequent cross-coupled products and interpretation of their biological activity. </p> <p>Considering the importance of the availability of THC derivatives in medicinal chemistry research and the fact that previously synthesized compounds were wrongly assigned, we feel this research is describing a straightforward pathway into new cannabinoids.</p>

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.

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.

In this work, we report a novel one-pot [3+2] cycloaddition of 4-aminopyrazolones, indolenines, and aldehydes. The reaction utilized the in-situ generated azomethine ylides as 1,3-dipoles and 2-alkenylindolenines as dipolarophiles affording...
