The previously neglected "angular" spirocyclic azetidines have been synthesized, characterized, and validated in drug discovery. We have shown that these compounds could act as bioisosteres for common saturated six-membered heterocycles. Their incorporation into the structure of the anticancer drug Sonidegib (instead of morpholine), and Danofloxacine (instead of piperazine) provided novel patent-free analogs with similar physicochemical properties and high activity.

Eleven conjoined coumarins possessing a chromeno[3,4-]chromene-6,7-dione skeleton have been synthesized via the reaction of electron-rich phenols with esters of coumarin-3-carboxylic acids, catalyzed by either Lewis acids or 4-dimethylaminopyridine. Furthermore, Michael-type addition to angular benzo[]coumarins is possible, leading to conjugated helical systems. Arrangement of the electron-donating amino groups at diverse positions on this heterocyclic skeleton makes it possible to obtain π-expanded coumarins with emission either sensitive to, or entirely independent of, solvent polarity with large Stokes shifts.

Synthesis of Spirocyclic Isoindolones Using an Alkynyl -Prins/Oxidative -Nazarov Cyclization Sequence.

Org Lett

March 2021

Department of Chemistry, University of Rochester, 120 Trustee Road, Rochester, New York 14611, United States.

In this report, we describe an alkynyl --Prins cyclization of 3-hydroxyisoindolones to prepare -Prins products. These Prins adducts undergo oxidation at the 3-isoindolone position after activation of the amide by triflic anhydride and 2-chloropyridine to form a pentadienyl cation capable of undergoing a -Nazarov cyclization. Using this methodology, angular-fused N-heterocyclic small molecules with two new rings, two new carbon-carbon bonds, a vinyl halide, and an -tertiary stereocenter can be obtained in good yields.

Unsaturated spirocyclic substrates bearing two alkenyl chains underwent ruthenium-mediated ring-rearrangement metathesis through relaying cyclohexene and cycloheptene moieties to give angularly fused tricyclics. In some instances where two products were expected, high degrees of selectivity were observed. In one instance the structural parameter leading to selectivity was very subtle; in others the transformation favoured the formation of products with a cis-fused cyclohexene moiety.
