The design, synthesis, and evaluation of 6-6-7 tricyclic quinolones containing the strained spirocycle moiety aiming at the GSK-3β inhibitor were described. Among the synthesized compounds, 44, having a cyclobutane ring on a spirocycle, showed excellent GSK-3β inhibitory activity in both cell-free and cell-based assays (IC(50) = 36nM, EC(50) = 3.2μM, respectively). Additionally, 44 decreased the plasma glucose concentration dose-dependently after an oral glucose tolerance test in mice.

The presence of a small spirocyclic ring at an adjacent position alters the conformational preference for equatorial substitution in six-membered rings. DFT calculations and low-temperature H NMR experiments demonstrate that alkyl groups larger than methyl possess negative A-values when geminal to a spirocyclopropane, with larger groups such as isopropyl and -butyl being exclusively axial at -78 °C. Similar effects are found for heteroatoms, including halogens, and for a range of other electron-withdrawing substituents.

Spirocyclobutyl oxindoles have garnered substantial attention in drug discovery and pharmaceuticals owing to their wide range of biological activities. Strain-release in small-ring compounds is a powerful strategy to enable efficient access to complex molecules. In this study, we successfully realized a photoredox-catalyzed strain-release radical spirocyclization approach to attain functionalized spirocyclobutyl oxindoles.

An intermolecular nickel-catalyzed reductive 1,2-alkylarylation of acrylates with cyclopropylamine NHP esters and aryl iodides is reported. This operationally simple protocol provides direct access to 1-alkylcyclopropylamine scaffolds. The mild conditions are compatible with four-membered α-amino strained rings as well as five- and six-membered ring systems.

We report the strain-induced [2 + 2] cycloadditions of cyclic allenes for the assembly of highly substituted cyclobutanes. By judicious choice of trapping agent, complex scaffolds bearing heteroatoms, fused rings, contiguous stereocenters, spirocycles, and quaternary centers are ultimately accessible. Moreover, we show that the resulting cycloadducts can undergo thermal isomerization.

Strained cyclic tetrylones are important synthons due to various synthetic applications. Connecting two cyclic tetrylone rings through a single shared quaternary group 14 element atom to form a spirocyclic molecule has been unexplored both theoretically and experimentally. The formation of a spirocyclic motif has been a synthetic challenge.
