Abstract

An efficient, one-pot and multicomponent synthesis of dialkyl 5,5-dicyano-3-aryl-2-cyclopentene-1,2-dicarboxylates is described. A mixture of a phenacyl bromide, malononitrile, and a dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylate in the presence of triphenylphosphine and triethylamine undergo a smooth addition reaction in absolute ethanol at ambient temperature to afford the highly functionalized cyclopentenes in good to excellent yields.

Key words

General Procedure for the Preparation of Compounds 4a-k A solution of the appropriate phenacyl bromide (1 mmol), malononitrile (1 mmol), and Et3N (1 mmol) in EtOH (3 mL) was stirred at ambient temperature for 1 h. After addition of Ph3P (1 mmol), a solution of the appropriate dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylate (1 mmol) in EtOH (2 mL) was dropwise added to the reaction mixture over 25 min, which then was stirred at ambient temperature for 5 h. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by column chromatography (Merck silica gel 230-240 mesh) using n-hexane-EtOAc (3:1) as eluent. The solvent was removed and the product was obtained.
