Abstract
A one-pot, three-component synthesis of novel pyrroloacridinones from a set of alkoxy arenes and 2,6-dialkylphenols, isobutyric aldehyde, and 2-aminobenzonitrile is described. We have demonstrated the efficacy of the combination of intramolecular electrophilic ipso dearomatization of suitable aromatic compounds leading to spiro-substituted cyclohexa-2,5-dienones and intramolecular aza-Michael addition for the preparation of complex aza-heterocyclic systems.
Key words
intramolecular ipso dearomatization - spiro-substituted cyclohexa-2,5-dienone - intramolecular aza-Michael addition - domino reaction - cyclizationSupporting Information

- 6 Typical Experimental Procedure for the Synthesis of 5a A mixture of 1-methoxynaphthalene (1a, 316 mg, 2.0 mmol), isobutyric aldehyde (2, 216 mg, 3.0 mmol), and 2-aminobenzonitrile (3, 236 mg, 2.0 mmol) was added dropwise to stirred concentrated sulfuric acid (92%, 1 mL, 17 mmol) at 5–7 °C. The reaction mixture was stirred at r.t. for 25 min and poured into a mixture of ice (25 g) and aq NH3 (7 mL). The product was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 × 15 mL), and the combined organic layers were washed with H2O, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, and filtered. After the solvent was removed, the crude mixture was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (hexane–EtOAc, 4:1 to 2:1) to give pure 5a (516 mg, 82%).
