Abstract

A diastereoselective synthesis of highly substituted succinimide derivatives with chromone and carboxylic ester functionalities from 3-formylchromones, Meldrum’s acid, and alkyl isocyanides in the presence of alcohols in moderate to good yields is described.

Key words

formylchromone - isocyanide - Meldrum’s acid - succinimide

  • 15 General Procedure for the Synthesis of Alkyl-1-alkyl-4-(4-oxo-4H-chromen-3-yl)-2,5-dioxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylates 6A mixture of the appropriate 3-formylchromone 1 (1 mmol) and Meldrum’s acid (2, 1 mmol) was stirred in anhydrous CH2Cl2 (10 mL) for 3 h at r.t., and then alcohol 4 (1 mmol) followed by alkyl isocyanide 3 (1 mmol) was added at r.t. After complete conversion, as monitored by TLC using EtOAc–hexane (1:1) as eluent, the mixture was concentrated in vacuo, and the solid residue was washed with Et2O and crystallized from CH2Cl2–hexane (1:3) to afford pure product 6. rac-2-Adamantyl (3R,4S)-1-Benzyl-4-(6-methyl-4-oxo-4H-chromen-3-yl)-2,5-dioxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylate (6i)White powder; mp 195–196 °C (melt.).
