Synthesis of Chromenoimidazoles, Annulated with an Azaindole Moiety, through a Base-Promoted Domino Reaction of Cyanomethyl Quaternary Salts.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The reactivity of -cyanomethyl quaternary salts of 4-, 5- and 7-azaindoles towards salicylic aldehydes has been studied. The interaction of azaindolium salts with salicylic aldehydes proceeds as a base-promoted domino reaction, giving the corresponding chromenoimidazopyrrolopyridines. In the case of the 7-(cyanomethyl)-7-azaindolium salt, the reaction was found to be more sensitive, but the use of the 1-methyl-substituted salt allowed the synthesis of the desired compounds, incorporating the heterocyclic core of isogranulatimide C, a marine natural product.
