Three-Component Reactions of α- and β-Bromo Aldehydes with Amides and Dienophiles - An Easy Way to Versatile 1-Amido-2-Cyclohexenes

Abstract

The scope of the three-component reaction of aldehydes, amides, and dienophiles, the so-called AAD reaction, is extended to the formation of 2- and 3-bromo-substituted 1-amido-2-cyclohexene derivatives. The incorporation of the halogen substituent allows further elaboration of this interesting class of products.

halogenated aldehydes - amides - dienophiles - multicomponent reaction - Diels-Alder reaction

rac - N -(5-Bromo-2-methyl-1,3-dioxo-2,3,3a,4,7,7a-hexahydro-1 H -isoindol-4-yl)-4-methoxybenzamide (5)
4-Methoxybenzamide (152 mg, 1.00 mmol) was filled in a CEM pressure tube (10 mL), then toluene (2 mL), α-bromo-crotonaldehyde (2.00 mmol, 298 mg), and N-methyl-maleimide (1.50 mmol, 167 mg) were added. The reaction vessel was sealed and the mixture was subject to microwave irradiation (max. 50 W, 2450 MHz) under stirring at 150 °C for 20 min. After cooling, compound 5 precipitated from the reaction mixture. It was obtained as a colorless solid (84% yield) after washing with CH₂Cl₂. Further purification was not necessary. The assignment of the NMR signals was carried out according to the numbering given in Table [2] .
