Abstract

A novel and efficient method for the synthesis of 8-(polyfluoroalkoxy)-1-azaspiro[4.5]deca-3,6,9-trien-2-ones has been demonstrated via the electrophilic ipso-halocyclization of N-arylpropynamides with polyfluoroalkyl alcohols. In the presence of N-halosuccinimides (NXS), a variety of N-arylpropynamides underwent an electrophilic ipso-halocyclization reaction with polyfluoroalkyl alcohols to afford the corresponding 8-(polyfluoroalkoxy)spiro[4.5]trienes in good yields. Note that molecular sieves can improve the yield of the reaction.

Key words

electrophilic ipso-halocyclization - N-arylpropynamide - N-halosuccinimide - spiro[4.5]decane - polyfluoroalkoxy substitution

The structures and the cis/trans configuration of the products are determined on the basis of the chemical shift of hydrogen at the 8-position of the spirocyclic motif according to the reported authoritative data of the corresponding analogues, see refs. 6b, 6c, and 6g.

A set of other reagents, including NaOEt, NaOAc, NH₄Cl, 4-nitrophenol, and TfOH, instead of TFA were examined. The results showed that no reaction was observed using NaOEt, NaOAc, NH₄Cl, or 4-nitrophenol, and the electrophilic ortho-cyclization product 4aa was obtained in 90% yield in the presence of TfOH.
