Microwave-Assisted Three-Component Reaction for the Synthesis of Pyrido[2′,1′:2,3]imidazo[4,5-c]isoquinolin-5(6H)-ones

Abstract

Pyrido[2′,1′:2,3]imidazo[4,5-c]isoquinolin-5(6H)-ones can be obtained by a microwave-assisted three-component reaction between 2-aminopyridines, isocyanides, and 2-carboxybenzaldehydes under acidic conditions.

Key words

heterocycles - lactams - multicomponent reaction - Ugi reaction - isocyanides

  X-ray data were collected at 100(2) K on an INCOATEC Microsource device with mirror-monochromated Mo-Kα radiation (λ = 0.71073 Å). The device is equipped with a SMART APEX II area detector. The data were integrated with SAINT⁹ and an empirical absorption correction (SADABS)^¹0 was applied. The structure was solved by using direct methods with SHELXS-97 and refined by full-matrix least-squares on F ^² for all data with SHELXL-97.^¹¹-¹³ All non-hydrogen atoms were refined with anisotropic displacement parameters. A riding model with idealized geometry was employed for all hydrogen atoms. CCDC-674626 contains the supplementary crystallographic data for this paper. These data can be obtained free of charge from The Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre via www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/data_request/cif.
