Synthesis of Indole-Dihydroisoquinoline Sulfonyl Ureas via Three-Component Reactions

Isoquinolines activated with sulfamoyl chlorides were reacted with indoles in a 3-component reaction to generate a library of dihydroisoquinoline derivatives. Using a differential protecting group strategy, products could be further derivatised. Synthesis of isoquinoline starting materials using several different methods is also described.

High-temperature rearrangements of 2-acylisoxazol-5(2H)-ones and related oxazoles

2-Acyl-3-arylisoxazol-5(2H)-ones give 2-alkyl(aryl)-4-aryloxazoles in good yields at 540°C under flash vacuum pyrolysis conditions, but at higher temperatures the expected oxazoles are accompanied by increasing amounts of isomeric 2,5-disubstituted oxazoles, as well as anilides and decomposition products of the 2,4-disubstituted oxazole. The rearrangement mechanisms have been studied by the use of 13C labelled substrates and p-substituted 3-arylisoxazolones. The 2,5-disubstituted oxazoles are considered to arise from 1H-azirines, and the anilides from the nitrone ketene isomer of the acylisoxazolone.
