Abstract

N-Aryl-2-nitrosoanilines possessing 5-alkylamino groups undergo a bisheteroannulation reaction with anions of 2-cyanoalkanecarboxylates resulting in pyrroloquinoxalinone derivatives. The cascade reaction involves condensation of the cyanoester anions with the nitroso group, unusual nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen in the nitrosoaniline-derived intermediate with the second carbanion molecule, and double intramolecular acylation of the amino functions.

Key words

carbanions - condensation - heterocycles - annulation - nucleophilic aromatic substitution

12 General Procedure for the Synthesis of Pyrrolo-quinoxalinones 6a–j 5-Amino-N-aryl-2-nitrosoaniline (0.5 mmol) and methyl 2-cyanoalkanoate (1.1 mmol) were dissolved in dry MeCN (5 mL). DBU (0.4 mL, 2.68 mmol) was added in one portion, and the mixture was stirred at r.t. for the time specified in Table 2. The mixture was poured into sat. NH₄Cl (10 mL) and H₂O (10 mL), extracted with EtOAc (3 × 20 mL), dried with Na₂SO₄, and the crude product was chromatographed.
