Me3Al-mediated domino nucleophilic addition/intramolecular cyclisation of 2-(2-oxo-2-phenylethyl)benzonitriles with amines; a convenient approach for the synthesis of substituted 1-aminoisoquinolines

A simple and efficient protocol for the construction of 1-aminoisoquinolines was achieved by treating 2-(2-oxo-2- phenylethyl)benzonitriles with amines in the presence of Me3Al. The reaction proceeds via a domino nucleophilic addition with subsequent intr

A Facile One-Pot Synthesis of Vicinal Di- and Triketones from α-Methylene Ketones by NBS-DMSO Oxidation

The reaction of 1,2-diarylethanones (1a-u) with N-bromosuccinimide in anhydrous dimethyl sulphoxide afforded diarylethanediones (2a-u) in excellent yields.Under similar conditions, 1-phenyl-2-butanone (3) gave 1-phenyl-1,2-butanedione (4) in fair yield in addition to a small amount of 1-phenyl-3-methylthio-1,2-butanedione (5) and 1-phenyl-1-methylthio-2-butanone (6). 4-Phenyl-2-butanone (7), 1,3-diphenyl-2-propanone (9), and 1,3-diphenyl-1,3-propanedione (10) gave the corresponding triketones monohydrate (8) and (11). 1-Indanone (12), 2-indanone (13), and 1,3-indandione (14) gave ninhydrin (15) in good yields.In the case of 3-phenyl-1-indanone (16), 3-phenyl-2-bromo-1-indanone (17), 3-phenyl-2-bromo-1-indenone (18) and 3-phenyl-1-indenone (19) were obtained. 1-Phenyl-1-propanone (20) and 1-phenyl-1-butanone (22) gave the corresponding α-(methylthio)ketones (21) and (22). 1,3,3-Triphenylpropanone (24a) and 1-phenyl-3-methyl-1-butanone (24b) yielded only the corresponding α-bromoketones (25a,b) in good yields.These α-bromoketones, however, afforded the corresponding α-diketones (26a,b) in moderate yields when α-bromoketones reacted with dimethyl sulphoxide in the presence of AgBF4.
