The reaction of dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates with 2-oxo-2- phenylacetaldehyde in the presence of primary amines: Synthesis of alkyl 2-benzoyl-4-alkylamino-5-oxo-2,5-dihydro-3-furan carboxylate derivatives

چکیده مقاله

A 3-component domino reaction approach between a primary amine, a dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylate, and 2-oxo-2-phenylacetaldehyde that affords novel alkyl 2-benzoyl-4-alkylamino-5-oxo-2,5-dihydro-3-furan carboxylate derivatives is reported. The reaction sequence consists of an initial Michael addition of primary amines to dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates, followed by an aldol-like reaction with 2-oxo-2-phenylacetaldehyde, and then λ-lactonization to afford the products. This cascade reaction sequence represents a rapid and unprecedented route to the described biologically interesting molecules. © TÜBITAK.
