Heteroaromatic carboxylic acids have been directly coupled with imines using propylphosphonic anhydride (T3P) and NEt(iPr)2 to form azaspirocycles via intermediate N-acyliminium ions. Spirocyclic indolenines (3H-indoles), azaindolenines, 2H-pyrroles and 3H-pyrroles were all accessed using this metal-free approach. The reactions typically proceed with high diastereoselectivity and 3D shape analysis confirms that the products formed occupy areas of chemical space that are under-represented in existing drugs and high throughput screening libraries.
通过丙基膦酸酐(T3P)和二异丙基乙胺,杂芳族羧酸已与亚胺直接偶联,通过中间体N-酰基亚胺离子形成氮杂螺环化合物。使用这种无金属方法可以得到螺环吲哚啉(3H-吲哚)、氮杂吲哚啉、2H-吡咯和3H-吡咯。反应通常以高非对映选择性进行,三维形状分析证实所形成的产物占据了现有药物和高通量筛选库中代表性不足的化学空间区域。
