Reaction of 2-benzoyl-1,2-dihydroisoquinoline-1-carbonitrile tetrafluoroborate with (Z)-2-arylidene-3(2H)-benzofuranones - Access to chromenopyrrole derivatives
J. Vebrel et al., Reaction of 2-benzoyl-1,2-dihydroisoquinoline-1-carbonitrile tetrafluoroborate with (Z)-2-arylidene-3(2H)-benzofuranones - Access to chromenopyrrole derivatives, EUR J ORG C, (12), 1998, pp. 2855-2859
Spiro[pyrrole-3,2'-3(2H)-benzofuranones] 7 have been synthesized by [4+2] c
ycloaddition of 2-arylidene-3(2H)-benzofuranones with the 2-benzoyl-1,2-dih
ydroisoquinoline-1-carbonitrile tetrafluoroborates. In acidic medium or in
refluxing DME the spiro compounds yield tetrasubstituted pyrroles or compou
nds derived from chromenopyrroles. The regio- acid stereochemistry of the r
eaction was established by spectroscopic or X-ray analysis.
