Abstract

2,3-Dihydro-1-tosylquinolin-4(1H)-one derivatives, azaisoflavanones, have been synthesized efficiently via a gold-catalyzed annulation of 2-tosylaminobenzaldehyde and alkynes. This annulation offers the synthesis of a range of potentially bioactive molecules.

Keywords

gold catalysis - flavanoids - azaisoflavanones - 2-tosylaminobenzaldehyde - alkynes

Typical Experimental Procedure for the Synthesis of 3c-j: AuCN (0.6 mg, 0.0025 mmol) and PBu₃ (15.4 µL, 0.0625 mmol), aldehyde 1c (0.125 mmol) and alkyne 2a-h (0.187 mmol) in anhyd toluene (0.5-1 mL) was heated in a sealed tube at 150 °C for 2.5 d under nitrogen. The reaction mixture was cooled to r.t. and the solvent was evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash-column chromatography on silica gel with the appropriate mixture of hexane and EtOAc to give azaisoflavanones 3c-j.
