A., Geneva (CH). andrea.basso@unige.it The Passerini three component reaction (P-3CR) followed by postcondensation modifications has been employed for the synthesis of libraries of pharmacologically relevant compounds based on original scaffolds. In particular, -azidoaldehydes 1 have been considered as an innovative building block in the multicomponent step. Problems related to their intrinsic instability have been successfully overcome and the Passerini adducts 2 have been isolated in good yield. The azido group, inert during the condensation, is very versatile, and can undergo a number of useful transformations often providing access to heterocyclic products (Scheme 1). Among the most common ones, the Staudinger Aza-Wittig reaction and the 1,3 dipolar cycloaddition with alkynes will be the matter of this presentation. Microwave assisted reactions, polymer supported reagents and straightforward purifications have been efficiently employed to generate library formats.

R. China Selective synthesis of functionalized naphthalenes and indenones via a palladium-catalyzed cyclization of ohaloacetophenone and terminal alkyne in secondary amine is reported. Under the nitrogen atmosphere, palladiumcatalyzed reaction of o-haloacetophenones with terminal alkynes and wet secondary amines generated 1-(N,Ndialkylamino) -3- aryl/alkylnaphthalenes. When the reaction was conducted under air atmosphere, 1-indenone-3carbaldehydes were obtained. The synthesized -arylnaphthalenes emitted light in a range from 386 nm to 452 nm with quantum yields from 0.10 to 0.48 in cyclohexane. Absorption and emission efficiency of 4d could be finely tuned by environmental acidity and might be useful as a fluorescent pH sensor. Scheme 1.

Among the various methods developed for that purpose, multicomponent reactions1 involving domino processes answer perfectly these constraints. In this context, our Group is interested for several years in the synthesis of new heterocyclic molecules with the aim of using them as building blocks for the development of new leads in the pharmaceutical industry. Thus we developed new Michael addition-initiated domino multicomponent reactions2 involving a 1,3-dicarbonyl compound,3 a Michael acceptor and various amines. This sequence allowed the rapid access to highly substituted pyridines when the amine is replaced by an ammonia source: ammonium acetate (Scheme 1).4 With appropriate starting materials, this sequence allows the formation of various pyridine derivatives such as 4-azafluorenones, nicotinamides, bi-pyridines or fluorinated pyridines. A wide panel of substituents can be easily introduced on the pyridine moiety in a totally regioselective manner (Figure 1). Scheme 1.

In parallel, DTS can be devised for synthesis of a collection of naturally occurring compounds, i.e. the library of natural products that share similar molecular skeletons, stereochemistry, and/or functionalities to a great extent. The amphidinolide series of marine macrolides serves as the excellent case studies.1b In this presentation, our strategy toward DTS of amphidinolide T series macrolides, i.e. T1, T3, and T4 (1, 3, and 4 in Figure 1), is discussed.2 An advanced 19membered ring (12E)-cycloalkene 6, obtained via ring-closing metathesis (RCM), serves as the common intermediate. It was selectively converted into the diols 7 and 8 via asymmetric dihydroxylation (AD). The diols were then transformed into the targeted -hydroxy ketones 1, 3–5, respectively, through selective monosilylation–DMP oxidation–desilylation.

Alexander Dömling* Universities of Groningen and Pittsburgh, The Netherlands and USA The synthetic advantages of multicomponent reactions (MCRs) are highly appreciated in pharmaceutical, agrochemical and other industries. An increasing number of products based on MCRs are marketed or in development. Recent examples include boceprivir, retosiban or mandipropamide, just to name a few.1 A key feature of MCR chemistry is the very large chemical space which is amenable to discover useful compounds to advance human mankind. In fact it can be estimated that the breath of the MCR chemical space is easily approaching 1020. Synthetic technologies, however cannot efficiently leverage this huge chemical space and only a very minor fraction of the MCR space can be realistically synthesized. Thus the question arises “How to leverage the very large chemical space of multicomponent reactions”. Here we will discuss pros and cons of different approaches to discover useful compounds from the MCR universe, including combinatorial chemistry, targeted (library) approaches, computational similarity searches, computational docking and the recently introduced ANCHOR approach (Fig.1).2 Figure 1. The ANCHOR approach towards small molecule protein protein antagonists allows to screen a very large MCR-based chemical space including multiple scaffolds and results in synthesizable and easily to confirm hits in just seconds.

Dual /cooperative catalysis strategy provides an opportunity for controlling the reaction selectivity in the multicomponent reactions. This concept is demonstrated in the reaction of an onium ylide trapping process. Protic onium ylides, derived from a carbenoid and an alcohol or an amine, have been proposed as active intermediates for O–H or N–H insertion in transition-metal-catalyzed decomposition of diazo compounds. This class of ylides with acidic protons and basic carbanions in vicinal proximity are of high energy and were formerly thought to be too reactive to be intercepted by external electrophiles. This assumption has been changing, based on strong evidences in our laboratory that these protic onium ylides can be trapped by active electrophile to provide rapid and efficient access to polyfunctional molecules, and the application of cooperative catalysis strategy gives the multi-component products in good yield with high level control of stereoselectivity (Scheme 1).

Isocyanide-based multicomponent reactions (IMCR) are particularly interesting because they are more versatile and diverse than the remaining MCR1-3. Today most IMCR chemistry relates to the classical reactions of Passerini and Ugi. In connection with our recent interest to isocyanide chemistry4, we report the three component Ugi reaction of isocyanides (1), carbodiimides (2), and trimethylsilyl azide (3). The reaction proceeds at room temperature and tetrazole derivatives (4) are synthesized in excellent yields.

Indazole and indazolone are prominent heterocycles that show various biological activities such as anti- inflammatory, antiviral, and anticancer activities. In particular, SNX-2122, which contains a tetrahydroindazolone moiety, has been identified as a potent heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) inhibitor and exhibits low nanomolar antiproliferative activities against multiple cancer cell lines. SNX-2122 is currently in phase III clinical trials. In spite of their proven importance in biomedical research, the systematic exploration of chemical space around privilegd tetrahydroindazolones has not yet been extensively pursued. Furthermore, we were interested in the diversification of tetrahydroindazolone-based core skeletons with the preservation of its validated molecular frameworks. Therefore, we developed a practical procedure for the synthesis of tetrahydroindazolone with excellent regioselectivity and accomplished the construction of a novel tetrahydroindazolone library containing three unique core skeletons using solid-phase parallel synthesis. The condensation of in-situ generated arylhydrazine on solid supports with 2-acylcyclohexane-1,3-diones ensured the efficiency of solid-phase parallel synthesis. In addition, we introduced three unique core skeletons containing nitrophenyl, anilyl, and pyridyl groups to maximize the molecular diversity through diverse display of polar surface area in 3-D chemical space. A 162member drug-like tetrahydroindazolone library was constructed in the average purity of 92% without further purification 10 The 5th International Conference on Multi-Component Reactions and Related Chemistry (MCR2011) Hangzhou 2011 Discovery of ERRγ Inverse Agonist Eryvarin H and Its Structure Activity Relationship Study Ja Young Koo1, Sangmi Oh1, Minseob Koh1 and Seung Bum Park1, 2 1 Department of Chemistry and 2Department of Biophysics and Chemical Biology, College of Natural Science, Seoul National University, Seoul 151-747, Korea Nuclear receptors are one of the important targets for various intracellular functions via regulating gene transcription. Orphan nuclear receptor has no identified ligands while it has similar structure with other identified receptors. Estrogen related receptor gamma (ERRγ) is a third subtype receptor of ERRs and one of the orphan receptors. ERRγ has various biological functions, which have been reported such as oxidative metabolism, suppressing cell proliferation and tumor growth of prostate cancer cells, and modulating cell proliferation and estrogen signaling in breast cancer. We found a inverse agonist, Eryvarin H, of ERRγ from a number of natural compounds based on docking simulation. Eryvarin H is a known natural compound, which is one of the Eryvarin series isolated from the roots of plant Erythrina variegata. Then we synthesized Eryvarin H and its derivatives by our own methods via Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction. Change of aryl groups by using different kinds of boronic acids gave us 12 different Eryvarin H derivatives. After synthesis of those compounds, we analyzed their inverse agonistic effect by using Gal4-fused ERRγ LBD system embedded on dualluciferase gene assay. We discovered not only Eryvarin H but also its derivatives are inverse agonists of ERRγ with comparable activity. Moreover, we could analyze the structure activity relationship (SAR) pattern from the structural informations of 12 derivatives and their cell-based assay data. From this research, which is a natural compound based SAR approach assisted by protein-ligand docking, we can conclude that this work is a quite useful way to discover lead compounds for modulating selected target. 11 The 5th International Conference on Multi-Component Reactions and Related Chemistry (MCR2011) Hangzhou 2011 One-Pot Synthesis of Quinazoline-2,4-dione Derivatives and Their Application to Naturally Occurring Products Xin Li, and Yong Rok Lee* School of Chemical Engineering, Yeungnam University, Gyeongsan 712-749, Korea We describe herein a one-pot synthesis of quinazoline-2,4-dione derivatives starting from isatoic anhydride, primary amines, and triphosgene in the presence of K2CO3.

It is noteworthy that all of the above nucleophilic species contain α, β-unsaturated imine or imine scaffold (Figure 1). Therefore, we envisioned that imine could generate 1,4-dipoles and initiate an [4+2] annulation with dipolarophiles. As a part of our program aiming at new approaches to diverse heterocycles,3 we developed a convenient method for the synthesis of highly functionalized 1,3oxazine derivatives via one-pot three-component reaction (Scheme 1). Moreover, the expected 1,3-oxazine derivatives are attractive compounds for drug discovery.

R. China Sulfur-containing heterocycles are of prominent importance because of their potential as bioactive compounds and synthetic building blocks. Consequently, the construction of these molecules, especially those via C–S bond forming as well as bond cleavage reaction, represents a significant area in organic synthesis. On the other hand, the unique reactivity of organosulfur compounds arisen from the formation, cleavage or rearrangement of C–S bond has attracted enormous interest from synthetic chemists. As a part of our ongoing research, we present herein a few interesting ring-transformation reactions of sulfur-containing heterocycles such as thiazole and alkylidenethiirane derivatives.

Shulepov, Vladislav S. Ponamorev, Maria N. Ivantsova, Maria I. Tokareva and Maxim A. Mironov* Department of Technology for Organic Synthesis, Ural Federal University, Mira 19, 620002 Ekaterinburg, Russian Federation Water is known to be an irreplaceable solvent and reagent for biochemical transformations, which are notable for highest selectivity and atom efficiency. In the past, synthetic organic chemistry did not practically use water as a solvent due to bad solubility and, in some cases, instability of organic reagents in aqueous solutions. Now, it is recognized that organic reactions in two- or multi-phase systems often give better results than in true solutions and insolubility of final products facilitates their isolation. Simplicity, selectivity, ease of purification, and atom-economy are all attractive features of reactions in aqueous suspensions, emulsions; micellar and microgels solutions. It will also provide a basis for new green technologies, including reducing the number of steps required to prepare useful products and decreasing their production costs. Multi-component reactions (MCRs) have been highly useful in the generation of libraries of molecules used for biological screening. This is because they are able to form a carbon-carbon bond and other carbon-heteroatom bonds under very mild conditions, particularly without the demanding reaction conditions of an anhydrous or oxygen-free environment. However, rate acceleration of MCRs is a great problem, because traditional catalysis is not usually applicable to them. Some MCRs including several variants of the Ugi and Passerini reactions can be accelerated up to 300-fold (compared to organic solvents) by conducting them in water or in aqueous solutions of solutes (glucose or LiCl)1,2. Despite these impressive results the use of water as a solvent for MCRs cannot be considered a mainstream approach, because the acceleration effect has been demonstrated only for select reactions. The generalization of these results to many more MCRs is the aim of our current research 3-5. This lecture will be focused on the following topics: 1. Acceleration of the Passerini reaction in aqueous emulsions and micellar solutions. 2. Acceleration of the Ugi reaction in aqueous emulsions and micellar solutions. 3. Finding of novel MCRs in multi-phase aqueous systems. 4. Formation of polysaccharide microgels via MCRs. 5. Some remarks about the mechanism of acceleration effect at interfaces.

J. Müller Lehrstuhl für Organische Chemie, Institut für Organische Chemie und Makromolekulare Chemie, Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf, Universitätsstrasse 1, D-40225 Düsseldorf, Germany Multi-component and domino reactions are efficient and effective methods in the rapid and diversity-oriented synthesis of heterocycles. In particular, transition metal catalyzed multi-component sequences have recently gained a considerable interest.1 Based upon the Pd-catalyzed entry to ynones, diynones, and enones2 and sequentially Pd-catalyzed processes3 we have opened new avenues to one-pot syntheses of numerous classes of heterocyclic frameworks (Figure 1).4 Most interestingly, in sequentially Pd-catalyzed processes the same catalyst source is operative a second time without further catalyst addition. This one-pot methodological concept is most elegantly applied to the syntheses of halochromic luminescent pyranoindoles,3e butadiynes,3f and to very concise syntheses of marine alkaloids and kinase inhibitors, the latter by applying a general Masuda-borylation-Suzuki-arylation sequence.5 Figure 1.

In this conference, we will present concise synthesis and structural diversification of fused scaffolds reminiscent of indole alkaloids3 and sesquiterpenes.4 To generate three-dimensional structural variations of the core scaffolds in common with the antiprotozoal sesquiterpenes, we envisioned stereochemical diversification of the consecutive ring-junctions into three types. Exploiting a versatile maniold that allows rapid and stereo-divergent assembly of building blocks, tricyclic skeletons with systematic variation of their stereochemistries and skeletal arrays were synthesized. Further oxidative manipulations allowed installation of endoperoxides and its equivalents to produce artemisinin analogs as lead candidates for anti-trypanosomal agents.5 Figure 1.

Multicomponent reactions, of course, are desirable as they meet these criteria. We have developed a flow chemistry approach to sustainable chemical synthesis1 wherein we have incorporated multi-component and multi-step transformations (e.g., Fig. 1) in order to maximize the efficiency.

Orru Synthetic & Bioorganic Chemistry, Dept of Chemistry & Pharm. Sciences, VU University, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (r.v.a.orru@vu.nl) The main research interest of the Synthetic & Bio-organic Chemistry group focuses on sustainable (atom and step economy) synthetic method development employing domino (or tandem) processes. The methodology is applied to the diversity-oriented synthesis of small focused libraries of fine-chemicals with a high added value, like building blocks for medicines or ligands for catalysis. A powerful strategy involves the use of multicomponent reactions (MCRs), which combine at least three different simple reagents in a well-defined manner to form a single product. Smart design of our synthetic strategies based on the concepts of Diversity Oriented Synthesis (DOS) and Biology Oriented Synthesis (BIOS) take advantage of the potential of MCRs allowing molecular complexity and diversity to be created by facile formation of several covalent bonds in one-pot transformations. At the same time our reactions proceed with high atom economy and low E factors thus minimizing the number of functional group manipulations towards a given complex molecular target and avoiding the use of protective groups. This lecture focuses on the design, of novel MCRs for atom- and step efficient syntheses and discusses some asymmetric methodology for stereoselective MCRs employing biocatalysis. Both mechanistic aspects, stereochemistry using biocatalysis, optimization towards robust procedures and synthetic utility are discussed e.g. in the synthesis of potentially biologically active molecules (antitumor, antibiotics, hepatitis C) as well as ligands relevant to catalysis (Nheterocyclic carbene complexes, organocatalysts). Romano V. A. Orru studied Molecular Sciences at the Agricultural University in Wageningen, the Netherlands, where he obtained his PhD in 1994 on Total Synthesis of Guainane Sesquiterpenes with prof de Groot. From 1996–2000 he worked in the group of Kurt Faber at the Technical and KarlFranszens Universities (Graz, Austria) on biocatalysis in organic synthesis. In early 2000 he was appointed assistant professor and later associate professor at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Since 2007 he is a full professor of Synthetic and Bioorganic chemistry. His current research focuses on the development of novel, diversity oriented, synthetic methodology for the synthesis of pharmaceutically relevant compounds and natural products.

The rapid and combinatorial access to molecular diversity has been pursued since early 90s by organic chemistry community. However, the enhanced efficiency in the synthesis of a large number of small molecules with a limited number of core skeletons did not significantly improve the overall numbers of new chemical entities approved by FDA. The concept of diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS) was then introduced for efficient population of molecular diversity in untapped chemical space using complexity-generating synthetic route. But, scientific communities have been curious about the molecular diversity of small molecules constructed by DOS strategies using pure complexity- generating reactions and whether they demonstrate statistically significant biological relevancy in real screening exercises. In addition, the privileged structure has been recognized as a key binding element for many different biopolymers and extensively utilized in drug discovery, though it was also claimed that library construction through modification of privileged structures is inconsistent with the true meaning of DOS for unbiased coverage of chemical space. To address these unmet needs for maximizing molecular diversity with high relevance in biological space, we pursued privileged-substructure-based DOS (pDOS) strategy to emphasize the importance of maximized skeletal diversity through the creative reconstruction of core skeletons containing privileged substructures for the construction of a drug-like polyheterocycle library. The efficiency of hit discovery from pDOS libraries was envisioned due to their enhanced relevance to biological space. This is the first systematic study to demonstrate the importance of privileged structures for the construction of molecular diversity through a series of high-throughput screening processes and subsequent biological evaluations. Our divergent pDOS strategy can provide an efficient approach for the discovery of novel small-molecule modulators with excellent specificity in chemical biology and drug discovery. Figure 1.

A large number of classical and no-classical methods have been developed for the synthesis of carbazole and dibenzofuran frameworks.[1] The nucleophilic aromatic substitution of phenyl cation[2] is a straightforward, efficient and green way to construct the carbazole and dibenzofuran cores. However, the research in this area is still rare, for the phenyl cation is unstable which limits its application in organic synthesis. Herein, based on the generation of highly activated phenyl cation intermediates, we describe a BF3•OEt2-promoted intramolecular amination and oxylation strategy for the direct formation of dibenzofurans and carbazoles from biaryl triazenes under Lewis acid conditions.

The availability of efficient synthetic routes for these scaffolds is highly desirable, especially if a combinatorial approach for preparing a large number of compounds, differing for the decorations of the heterocycle, can be realised. Recently, we developed a four step synthesis of 2-carbalkoxy pyrimidinones from readily available susbstituted -ketoesters 1. Few acyclic common intermediates have been elaborated with a sequential increase of structure diversity, passing through the formation of key acyl enamines 2, to give a small library of 3H-pyrimidin-4-ones.1 The novelty of this approach is represented by the employment of a metal-free strategy and by the introduction, at C2, of an unexpectedly reactive functional group, instead of a simple alkyl. This opportunity means that compounds 3 can be regarded as pluripotent substrates2 because they can be further functionalized in order to increase the number of possible available structures. The particular behaviour of the 2carbalkoxy substituent allows not only a fast entry to differently substituted compounds 4, but also the synthesis bicyclic derivatives 5.

For many targets conformationally restricted structures are highly desirable. One of the most powerful strategies for assembling new peptidomimetics is represented by the isocyanide-based multicomponent reactions (IMCRs), namely the Ugi and Passerini reactions and their variants. Restricted peptidomimetics are not necessarily fully cyclic or macrocyclic structures: in some cases it's enough to join the needed moieties, that are fundamental for the interaction with the biological target, to an appropriate central scaffold, usually having an heterocyclic structure. Moreover, for an appropriate evaluation of the biological properties of new peptidomimetics it is desirable to test single stereoisomers. It is therefore important to be able to: 1) assemble many new structures through a diversity oriented approach, basing the synthetic efforts on a common background (the IMCRs for example); 2) control the stereochemical outcome of the IMCR; c) synthesize new tailor-made appropriate chiral building blocks to be used in the IMCR through efficient stereospecific procedures. In this communication we present the chemoenzymatic synthesis of both enantiomers of isocyanides 3 and 4, each of them available through an efficient and enantiodivergent synthetic elaboration of the same chiral building block (1 to give 3 and 2 to give 4 respectively). Then, these isocyanides have been used for a convergent synthesis of a family of peptidomimetics exploiting an intramolecular variant of the Ugi reaction involving the chiral cyclic imine 5. This imine has been prepared in both enantiomeric forms through a chemoenzymatic sequence and, contrary to many other cyclic imines,2 display a complete induction during the formation of the new stereogenic centre arising from the MCR. The whole sequence has been demonstrated to preserve the enantiomeric excess of the enzymatically desymmetrized diols employed as precursors of the isocyanides 3 and 4 and of the cyclic imine 5. Finally, the polarity and conformation of the adducts can be tuned by modifying the additional functional groups (also changing the oxidation state) either before or after the Ugi reaction.

China State Key Laboratory of Applied Organic Chemistry, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou 730000, China An efficient synthesis of N-sulfonyl-substituted 2imino-3,4-dihydrocoumarins and 2-iminocoumarins via a copper- Iminocoumarins are one type of protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) inhibitors that are most valuable for the treatment of diseases involving excess cell proliferation as well as the antitumor process. They are also useful fluorescent dyes in fields as various as cell biology, medical analysis and sensors.k Classic methods for synthesis of iminocoumarins, such as Knoevenagel condensation and modification from coumarins, suffer from several shortcomings including limited substituents and troublesome chemical process management. Here we report an efficient synthesis of N-sulfonylsubstituted 2-imino-3,4-dihydrocoumarins and 2iminocoumarins via a copper-catalyzed multicomponent reaction of sulfonyl azides with terminal alkynes and b(ortho-hydroxyphenyl)-a,b-unsaturated ketones or orthohydroxyphenylpropiolates has been developed. The cascade process involves trapping the keteimine by a nucleophilic addition and an intramolecular Michael addition. 4(3H)-Quinazolinones and isoquinolinones are important class of fused heterocyclic compounds, have attracted much synthetic attention because of their wide range of pharmacological and therapeutic activities such as anticancer, antiinflammatory, anticonvulsant, antiulcer, and hypolipidemic. Some quinazolinones have been reported as potent chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of tuberculosis. The bioactive natural products, febrifugine and isofebrifugine, contain a quinazolinone moiety and possess antimalarial activity. Based on previous work, we developed an one-pot four-component approach to synthesis 4(3H)quinazolinones and isoquinolinones efficiently. This process involved a three component reaction of sulfonylazides with terminal alkynes and aniline. Cascadly the CO was employed to generate target heterocyclic compounds.

For example, SNX2112, containing tetrahydroindazolone moiety as core skeleton, is a famous potent heat shock protein (HSP) 90 inhibitor in phase III chlinical trial. Despite their proven importance in biomedical research, robust and efficient synthesis of tetrahydroindazolone derivatives is still challenging. Most vulnerable point in tetrahydroindazolone synthesis is difficulty of regioselectivity control. General procedure for tetrahydroindazolone synthesis in reported literatures is condensation of 2-acylcyclohexane-1,3-diones with hydrainzes. This method is valid for arylhydrazines generally,but for very limited scope of alkylhydrazines.To address this problem, we have carried out research on regioselective synthesis and library construction of tetrahydroindazolone moiety. We reported regioselective synthetic pathway of complementary regioisomers of 1,2- and 1,3-disubstituted tetrahydroindazolones through the sequential protection and deprotection of hydrazines.And we also reported the practical solid-phase synthetic pathway for 1,3-disubstituted tetrahydroindaozlones. As an extension of our research, we develop a new regioselective synthetic pathway of 1,3-substituted tetrahydroindazolone generally applicable for broad kinds of substrates including alkylhydrazines as well as arylhydrazines. The key concept of our synthetic strategy is introducing sterically hindered N-Bocpyrrolidine ring on 2-acylcyclohexane-1,3-done. The advantages as introducing N-Bocpyrrolidine ring on 2-acylcyclohexane-1,3dione are; (i) N-Bocpyrrolidine is sterically bulky group sufficient to give regioselectivity in the synthesis of 1,3disubstituted tetrahydroindazolone irrespective of kinds of hydrazines (ii) improvement of efficiency for discovering lead compound for small-molecule modulator because pyrrolidine moiety is frequently observed in many bioactive small molecules such as anti-hyperglycemic agent and angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitor(Figure 1) (iii) making R/S enantiomeric pair tetrahydroindazolone sets easily because each enantiomer can be synthesized simply by changing L- or D-proline (iv) pyrrolidine moiety can be utilized as a diversiting point to maximize molecular diversity via N-modification.

Moreover, the RauhutCurrier-type products have not been accessed so far by the corresponding reaction of nitroalkenes with acryl nitrile or by other methods. This study not only adds a useful entry to multicomponent reactions that are increasingly demanding owing to their intrinsic step-economy in the construction of complex organic molecules, but also significantly extends the synthetic utility of carbonnitrogen bond cleavage.

It has been established that the formation of dihydroazolopyrimidines requires a more hard reaction conditions (7-8 hours of reflux in DMF) and proved to be a less selective process than the classical Biginelli reaction leading to dihydropyrimidines [2]. For the first time the effects of nanosized metal oxides (CuO, Al2O3, ZnO, MgO, TiO2-SiO2), including the presence of chiral modifiers, on regio- and stereoselective features of the multicomponent synthesis of dihydroazolopyrimidines 1 and 2 have been studied (scheme 1). Using of nanosized system TiO2-SiO2 allowed one to optimize the synthesis of 2, to reduce the reaction temperature from 80 °C to 22 °C, and to enhance content of the target compound up to 90-92% according to HPLC. It has been shown that the presence of nanosized TiO2-SiO2, ZnO and chiral modifiers (quinine sulfate, L-proline, D-proline, 5-oxy-L-proline, D-aspartic acid) enables one to improve stereoselectivity of the synthesis of dihydroazolopyrimidines 1 and 2. Also it is worth to note that use of chiral modifiers without nanosized metal oxides has no effect on stereoselectivity of the reaction. Dependence of enantiomeric excess of 1 on the ratio of SiO2 and TiO2 has shown that the best results can be achieved with the catalyst bearing 18% of TiO2. By using of this nanosized metal oxide, L-proline and DMF as solvent the ee has been enhanced up to 30-45%. In case of derivatives 2 the presence of ZnO and L-proline provided the value of 20% for the dihydrotetrazolopyrimidines 2.

However, the synthesis of medium-sized rings is known to be rather cumbersome and no good generally applicable procedures have been described so far. Some time ago we have elaborated an efficient synthesis of the 3-benzazepine framework via an intramolecular Heck reductive cyclization (1). We have demonstrated that the application of microwave irradiation is beneficial for this process. As a result of these investigations we extended our research towards the synthesis of indoloazocines (2), dibenzoazocines (3), dibenzoazepines (3), 3-benzazepines (4) and dibenzo[c,e]azepinones. To assure the generation of diversity we utilized multicomponent reactions as the aldehyde/amine/alkyne (A3) coupling (5,6) and the Ugi 4CR (Scheme) which will be run in an intramolecular fashion. The beneficial effect of the application of microwave irradiation in each of these processes will be commented.

Johan Van der Eycken*, Timothy Noël, Katrien Bert, Koen Vandyck Laboratory for Organic and Bioorganic Synthesis, Department of Organic Chemistry Ghent University, Krijgslaan 281 (S.4), B-9000 Ghent, Belgium Johan.VanderEycken@UGent.be Nitrogen-containing ligands are known as cheap, readily accessible and stable alternatives for phosphane ligands,1 which are often very sensitive to air and require a multistep synthesis.2 We wish to present a combinatorial approach to a novel type of nitrogen-based mono- and bidentate ligands.3,4 These ligands are characterized by their modular structure, allowing an easy one-step synthesis by simply combining two readily variable precursors which are either commercially available, or can be reached in only a few steps: a cyclic imidate 1 and a (chiral) amine, respectively diamine. These ligands show promising results in e.g. the Cu(I)-catalyzed asymmetric aziridination of methyl cinnamate, in asymmetric diethylzinc additions to benzaldehydes, in the Pd(0)catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation, and in asymmetric hydrogenations of alkenes. These ligands might also become valuable tools for asymmetric multicomponent reactions.

Topchiev Institute of Petrochemical Synthesis, Russian Academy of Science, 29, Moscow 119991, Leninsky ave., Russia A novel efficient method for the synthesis of heteroannulated [1,4]benzodiazepines via an isocyanide-based multicomponent reaction was elaborated. The tetrazolo[1,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepines were obtained by a facile azide Ugi-five-center-four-component reaction (U-5C-4CR) using ketones, sodium azide, ammonium chloride and corresponding isocyanide (Scheme 1). The aforementioned tetrazolodiazepines represent a notable class of compounds with proven platelet aggregation inhibitory and cholecystokinin agonist activities. In our approach the desired tetrazolodiazepines were synthesized by simply mixing 1 mmol of a ketone with 1.2 mmol of sodium azide, 1.2 mmol of ammonium chloride and 1 mmol of the corresponding isocyanide in aqueous methanol. After 24-48 hours of vigorous stirring at room temperature the target products precipitated from the reaction mixture The scope and limitations of this reaction will be discussed.

R. China Copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) was developed and used to construct various compounds with economic and ecological values.1 Meanwhile, the copper-catalyzed Csp3-H activation2 and oxidation consuming oxygen as oxidant3 also attracted considerable attention. We reported herein a novel cascade catalysis strategy to synthesis 3functionalized indoles via a copper (I)-catalyzed three-component reaction and a sequential copper (II)-catalyzed C-H bond activation and oxidation in oxygen atmosphere. In order to evidence the proposed mechanism, we run the reaction under the argon atmosphere. As we expected, the unoxidative products were isolated. And the unoxidative products could be converted to the oxidative products under the oxygen atmosphere using either Cu(I) or Cu(II) catalyst. Scheme 1.

We found that ketone 2 underwent the intramolecular oxygen-hetero-Diels–Alder reaction (oxo-IMDA) (Figure 1).1 We found that a similar substrate 3 (R = 3-ClC6H4) could form the cycloadducts under controlled microwave heating. But the major adduct 4b was found not stable under heating to produce an unexpected ring-opening product 4a The product distribution was found temperatue-dependent. The reaction carried out at 100 ºC for 0.5 h afforded three adducts in a ratio of 12:83:5 (4a:4b:4c). Alternatively heating at 180 ºC for 0.5 h afforded the adducts in a ratio of 89:0:11 (4a:4b:4c).

A Kiyooka aldol condensation of an aldehyde with a trimethylsilyl ketene acetal and the oxazaborolidinone prepared from N-Ts-(S)-valine gives two of the four possible aldol adducts, which were oxidized and deprotected to complete the first synthesis of (–)-berkelic acid. This synthesis proceeds with a longest linear sequence of only 13 steps in 2% overall yield, leading to reassignment of the stereochemistry at C-18 and C-19, assignment of the relative stereochemistry at C-22, and establishment of the absolute stereochemistry. A biosynthetic pathway is proposed that is consistent with the known absolute stereochemistry at the quaternary carbon of spiciferone A, spicifernin, and berkelic acid and provides a simple explanation for the differing stereochemistry at C-18 and C-19 of spicifernin and berkelic acid.

We recently extended this research program, the results of this study lead to new transformation. Scheme 1. Zirconium-mediated multicomponent reactions Reference 1. Marek, E. I.

As one kind of reactive azomethine ylides, heteroaromatic N-ylide has been used extensively in cycloadditions for the synthesis of the fused heterocycles with a nitrogen at the point of fusion. Heteroaromatic N-ylides such as pyridinium, quinolinium, isoquinolinium methylides are readily available from the alkylation of aza-aroamtic heterocycles and sequential deprotonation reaction. The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of heteroaromatic N-methylides with electron-deficient alkynes and alkenes provided a convenient route to novel nitrogen bridged heterocycles such as indolizines and benzofused derivatives. Recently we realized that the versatile reactivity and easily in situ formation of azaaromatic N-ylide can be used to design new multicomponent reactions and found some interesting results. Previous work showed that polysubstituted pyridines, cyclopropanes, dihydrofuranes, zwitterionic salts and pyrido[1,2-a]benzimidazole derivatives could be produced efficiently from multicomponent reactions based on heteroaromatic N-ylides.[1,2] In continuation of our efforts to develop new multicomponent reactions we investigate the reactivity of isoquinolinium salts in the reactions and found very interesting results. The tandem reactions of isoquinoline, α-halogenated methylene compounds, aromatic aldehydes and cyanoacetamide give tetrahydropyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines as main products.[3] The corresponding pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines and dihydropyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines can be obtained directly by controlling oxidation with DDQ. Under similar conditions the tandem four-component reactions involving cyclic 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds such as Meldrum acid, dimedone and barbituric acid gave the zwitterionic salts in high yields with the unprecedented C4 substitution pattern.

In the development of new diversity-oriented synthesis, we have employed fluorous multicomponent reaction (F-MCR) to assemble heterocyclic scaffolds. One of the starting materials attached to a fluorous linker is used as the limiting agent. The fluorous component is readily isolated from the reaction mixture and used for post-MCR modifications. The fluorous linker is removed by displacement or cyclization reactions to increase substitution and skeletal diversities. The high synthetic efficiency is achieved by atom economic MCR, high speed microwave reaction, and easy fluorous solid-phase extraction (F-SPE). In addition, the fluorous linker may have multiple functions: 1) to protect a functional group, 2) to introduce a fluorous separation phase tag, and 3) to activate a functional group for metal-catalyzed coupling reactions. This presentation summarizes the utility of F-MCRs such as Ugi, Biginelli, PictetSpengler, Bienayme-Blackburn-Groebke, and [3+2] cycloaddition followed by Suzuki, de-Boc cyclization, and other linker cleavage reactions to synthesize diverse heterocyclic scaffolds.

While many reactions can currently be run with high yields and high enantioselectivities, there remains progress to be made in terms of reaction efficiency, atom economy and environmental safety. One direction that can potentially combine all these concepts is the development of enantioselective multicomponent reactions (MCRs).1 Indeed, MCRs are intrinsically connected to sustainable chemistry and are highly valuable for creating molecular diversity and complexity. In this presentation, we will detail our recent work on the development of enantioselective threecomponent Povarov reaction as well as four-component enantioselective Mannich-type reaction.2 HO ArNH2 + R1CHO CbzHN + P O O * O NHCbz R2 (0.025 equiv) R2 CH2Cl2, 0 °C R N H R1 Reference 1 Reviews on enantioselective MCRs: (a) Seayad, J.; List, B.

Many reactions based on allenamides were well established in the past decades, such as [4 + 2] cycloadditions, [2 + 2] cycloadditions and radical cyclization. The attendance of an allenamide motif enhances the diversity of reaction possibility. In the formation of cyclic compounds, the allenamide serves as nucleophilic reagent to undergo catalyzed cyclization with another electrophilic center such as organohalides. More importantly, due to the electron-rich central carbon which can be easily activated in the presence of an electrophile and the unique geometry of allenamide, these reactions often proceed efficiently in highly stereoselective control, thus providing an attractive tool for the stereoselective synthesis of cyclic molecules.
