| Description | We have investigated intramolecular microwave - assisted 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of in situ generated azomethine ylides leading to hexahydrochromeno[4,3-b]pyrroles and hexahydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-c]quinolines. A simple protocol was developed for these reactions, whereby the ylides were generated under microwave irradiation by the reaction of ortho-(3-alkenyl)oxybenzaldehydes or ortho-(3-alkenyl)aminobenzaldehydes with secondary amines, prepared in turn by N-alkylation of alkyl aminoacetates or other aminoderivatives with a EWG. The subsequent intramolecular cycloadditions gave the products in very good yields and selectivity. Their stereochemistry, influence of EWG and microwave in comparison with classical arrangement in a solvent upon the formation of product was searched. Further, generation of nitrones in intramolecular cycloaddition and their reactions were investigated. |
