Herein, we report a base-free malononitrile activated condensation of 3-methylquinoxaline-2(1)-one (3MQ) 1 with aryl aldehydes 3a-3ad for synthesis of styrylquinoxalin-2(1)-ones (SQs) 4a-4ad with excellent yields. In this reaction, malononitrile activates the aldehyde Knoevenagel condensation towards reaction with 3MQ 1 and gets liberated during the course of reaction to yield the desired SQs 4a-4ad. The SQs were evaluated for cholinesterase inhibition and 4n was found to display a mixed type of inhibition of AChE, which was supported by molecular modelling studies. This study has led to the discovery of a new chemotype for cholinesterase inhibition which might be useful in finding a remedy for Alzheimer's disease.
在此,我们报道了一种无碱条件下丙二腈活化的3-甲基喹喔啉-2(1)-酮(3MQ) 1与芳醛3a - 3ad的缩合反应,用于合成产率优异的苯乙烯基喹喔啉-2(1)-酮(SQs) 4a - 4ad。在该反应中,丙二腈活化醛的Knoevenagel缩合反应,使其与3MQ 1发生反应,并在反应过程中释放出来,生成所需的SQs 4a - 4ad。对SQs进行了胆碱酯酶抑制活性评估,发现4n对乙酰胆碱酯酶(AChE)表现出混合型抑制作用,分子模拟研究支持了这一结果。该研究发现了一种新的胆碱酯酶抑制化学类型,这可能有助于找到治疗阿尔茨海默病的方法。
