Tandem Ring Opening/Intramolecular [2 + 2] Cycloaddition Reaction for the Synthesis of Cyclobutane Fused Thiazolino-2-Pyridones.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Reaction of thiazoline fused 2-pyridones with alkyl halides in the presence of cesium carbonate opens the thiazoline ring via S-alkylation and generates N-alkenyl functionalized 2-pyridones. In the reaction with propargyl bromide, the thiazoline ring opens and subsequently closes via a [2 + 2] cycloaddition between an in situ generated allene and the α,β-unsaturated methyl ester. This method enabled the synthesis of a variety of cyclobutane fused thiazolino-2-pyridones, of which a few analogues inhibit amyloid β1-40 fibril formation. Furthermore, other analogues were able to bind mature α-synuclein and amyloid β1-40 fibrils. Several thiazoline fused 2-pyridones with biological activity tolerate this transformation, which in addition provides an exocyclic alkene as a potential handle for tuning bioactivity.
