Here we report the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of polycyclic aromatic azomethine ylides with nitriles to produce highly fused imidazole derivatives, that is, tribenzo[,,]imidazo[2,1,5-]quinolizine. The advantages of this transformation are the broad substrate scope and the good functional group compatibility. The subsequent palladium-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization provides an efficient approach to further π-extended imidazoles, that is, 14b,15-diazadibenzo[,]cyclopenta[]pentaphene.
在此,我们报道了多环芳族甲亚胺叶立德与腈的1,3-偶极环加成反应,以生成高度稠合的咪唑衍生物,即三苯并[,,]咪唑并[2,1,5-]喹嗪。这种转化的优点是底物范围广且官能团兼容性好。随后的钯催化分子内环化反应为进一步的π-扩展咪唑,即14b,15-二氮杂二苯并[,]环戊并[]戊芬,提供了一种有效的方法。
