Introduction Over the past decade, ynamides have emerged as valuable reagents in synthetic chemistry.1 Typically, there are three functional groups attached to the nitrogen atom, including (1) an alkynyl moiety, (2) an electron withdrawing group (carbamate or sulfone) that improves the stability and controls the reactivity, and (3) R1 (normally alkyl or aryl group). The thermal stability, ambivalent nature and easy preparation2 have attracted particular interests from the synthetic chemists to develop new reactions on ynamide chemistry. In majority of these developments, the reaction modes are dictated by the formation of an “activated” keteniminium intermediate3 which can be trapped by a nucleophile. In certain intramolecular reactions, R1 serves as a nucleophilic hand to furnish a cyclic product (Scheme 1a, top). In this context, the reactions of ynamides involving alkynyl fragment and R1 moiety are well established.1 Despite these advances, the withdrawing group in ynamide mostly remains as a spectator lacking active participation. Moreover, the nitrogen atom in ynamide so far has rarely been used to construct a new C-N bond.4 Although there are a few literature reports regarding migration of groups from ynamide moiety, such a type migrations usually ended in ketenimine type products formation.5

Hence, the utility of nitrogen atom in ynamide has been mostly restricted to activate the triple bond. To address this limitation, and on the basis of our recent developments on gold-catalyzed Scheme 1. Reaction of functionalized ynamide A. a) reaction modes of ynamides Nu

reactions,6 we conceived an intramolecular cascade cyclization of conjugated diynamide A. The overall transformation would end up in a complex polycyclic N-heterocyclic compound (Scheme 1a, bottom). To realize such a perception might be quite challenging, because not only it requires a new tethered electrophilic site, but also one of the groups attached to nitrogen atom has to be cleaved in order to restore the reactivity. Given the well-established procedure for the synthesis of ynamides, the realization of such a strategy could be of great use, as a range of complex

polycyclic N-heterocycles could be produced in a modular fashion from easily available feedstock. To test above mentioned idea, we envisioned that a gold(I)-catalyzed reaction7 of diynamide A8 derived from 2-arylethanamine may lead to an unexplored reactivity of ynamide chemistry (Scheme 1b). The reaction was supposed to be initiated by an intramolecular arene-ynamide cyclization with a gold catalyst,9 thus furnishing a transient enynamide product B. At this stage, a gold-assisted double bond isomerization may take place, giving B́, in which the alkyne and sulfonamide have a cis relationship. Once the isomerization process reaches B́, the second active electrophilic site can be generated via coordination of gold(I) complex with the conjugated alkynyl tether. Thus the following sequence involving intramolecular amide-alkyne cyclization/1,3-sulfonyl group shift10 could eventually lead to the formation of pyrrolo[2,1a]isoquinoline C. Notably, C constitutes the core of the marine natural products lamellarin alkaloids11,12 which show a wide array of therapeutically useful biological activities.13 Results and discussion To testify our hypothesis, 3-methoxyphenyl-tethered diynamide 1a was chosen as the model substrate for the initial investigation (Table 1). To our delight, a cascade cyclization of 1a indeed occurred when IPrAuNTf2 was employed as the catalyst in DCE (1,2-dichloroethane), giving pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline 2a, a regio isomer of C in 70% yield (entry 1). Intriguingly, instead of the expected 1,3-sulfonyl migration,10c as confirmed by X-ray structure, a formal 1,4-shift of methylsulfonyl (Ms) group was observed. Control experiments highlighted the critical role of cationic nature for the gold catalyst (entry 2), and silver salt cannot catalyze current cascade reaction (entry 3). Brief examination of effects of other ligands didn’t give better results (entries

Finally, DCM (dichloromethane) was found to be a better choice compared to DCE by thorough screening of solvents as the yield was improved to 87% (entries 7-11, Table 1). Table 1.

With the optimal conditions in hand (entry 8, Table 1), a variety of alkoxy substituted 2phenylethan-1-amine derived diynamides 1 were prepared to examine the substrate scope of the reaction (Table 2). First, we focused on Ms protected diynamides 1a-1e with different aryl groups (R1). As seen in Table 2, a series of products 2a-2e could be obtained in excellent yields, indicating that the reaction is not affected by the substitution on phenyl group (R1). Similar to mono-methoxy substrates, the reactions of di- or tri-alkoxy group substituted diynamides produced the corresponding products 2f-2r in moderate to high yields (55%-88%). Benzyl (1n-

1o) and isopropyl (1p-1q) groups did not hamper the outcomes of the reactions. Other sulfonyl groups (Ts = 4-MeC6H4SO2-, Bs = C6H5SO2-) in diynamides (1s-1u) could undergo similar migration, and the corresponding pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines 2s, 2t and 2u were isolated in 73%, 63% and 83% yields, respectively. It is noteworthy to mention that a particular conjugated triynamide 1v was also a viable substrate, providing the desired product 2v with an extended alkyne moiety unaffected, which offers a good handle for further manipulations. Furthermore, separate gram-scale reactions of 1a and 1s were carried out. The desired products 2a and 2s both were obtained in 73% yields. As anticipated, electron donating group on the phenyl ring was indeed crucial for the initial arene-ynamide cyclization, as diynamide 1w exhibited no activity under current conditions. A particular substrate 1x with thiophenyl moiety delivered the corresponding product 2x in 83% yield. Subsequently, the reactivity of diynamides comprising different aliphatic groups R1 were examined. As depicted, diynamides bearing linear (nBu-, 1y) or branched alkyl group (tBu-,1z) and cyclopropyl group (1aa) were found to be competent substrates. Remarkably, functional groups such as, free hydroxy (1ab) and acetate groups (1ac) which are prone to react with triple bonds with gold catalysis, were well tolerated as well under standard conditions (2ab and 2ac). The methodology was also found to be competent with naphthyl substrate with methoxy substituent at seventh position (1ad), furnishing the corresponding pyrrolo-azepine product 2ad in 65% isolated yield. After examining the scope of an array of substrates with aryl and naphthyl moieties, we were interested in the applicability of our strategy to heteroaromatic systems. To our delight, diynamides tethered with thiophene, furan and indole skeletons (1ae-1ah) underwent transformations in expected way, opening a new avenue for the synthesis of multipleheterocyclic systems. Unlike simple aryl substrates, the heteroaromatic rings appeared to be

sufficiently activated, thus the presence of additional electron donating group is not compulsory to initiate the first cyclization step. Both 2 and 3-substituted indoles (1ag-1ah) ended up with corresponding regioisomeric products 2ag and 2ah. In the case of the product bearing furanyl motif, 2af was isolated in 25% yield, together with some unidentified by-products. Mechanistic Studies To understand the reaction mechanism, a crossover experiment using equally reactive diynamides 1a and 1t was carried out under standard conditions. The reaction of the mixture gave only 2a and 2t without any crossover products, indicating that the sulfonyl group migration takes place intramolecularly (Scheme 2a).14 The reaction of dihydro isoquinoline 2aá (for details, see SI) gave the tricyclic product 2a in almost quantitative isolated yield, which suggests that 2aá is an intermediate for current transformation (Scheme 2b).

Figure 1 displays the most feasible pathway among the alternatives we probed (see SI-II.2). To begin with, in the presence of gold species ([Au]+ = IPrAu+), 1a undergoes intramolecular cyclization, giving IM2. The cyclization involves dearomatization, thus IM2 is 5.9 kcal/mol less stable than IM1. Afterwards, the counter anion NTf2- mediates a 1,3-H shift to rearomatize IM2, giving IM4. To further cyclize, IM4 needs to isomerize to IM6, positioning the alkynyl group cis to N-atom. The pathway from IM6 to IM8 describes the second annulation which takes place via a concerted CN bond formation and 1,2-Ms shift, as indicated by the structure of TS6 in Figure 2, followed by another 1,2-Ms shift via TS7. The connections of TS6 to IM6 backward and IM7 were confirmed by IRC (intrinsic reaction coordinate) calculations (SI-II.3). The alternative mechanisms shown in SI-II.2 are much less favorable. For examples, the transition states for suprafacial and antarafacial 1,3-Ms shifts are 24.0 and 22.6 kcal/mol higher than TS6, respectively. Subsequent to the annulation, the resultant intermediate IM8 can either undergo 1,2-H shift via TS9, affording 2a (Figure 1, in red), or a third 1,2-Ms shift via TS8, giving IM9

to result in the regioisomer 2a’ (Figure 1, in blue). While the barriers (c.a. 23.0 kcal/mol) are accessible, the close relative energies of TS8 and TS9 disagree with the single experimental product (2a), rather than a mixture of 2a and 2a’. However, as shown in Figure 1, the 1,2-H shift via TS8 can be greatly (c.a. by 6.0 kcal/mol) facilitated by using NTf2- as a proton transfer shuttle, thus explaining the production of the single product 2a. Energetically, as the reaction proceeds, the system becomes more and more stable, with an overall energy release of 73.3 kcal/mol. The rate-determining step lies in the isomerization of cis-IM4 to trans-IM6 with a barrier of 23.8 kcal/mol. The energetic results well explain why the reaction could take place efficiently. The concerted mechanism for C-N bond formation and Ms migration and the involvement of IM4 agree with our experimental mechanistic studies (see Scheme 2). Synthetic manipulations To exploit the synthetic utility of the products, representative experiments were conducted (Scheme 3). Treatment of 2a with LiAlH4 could remove the sulfonyl moiety, furnishing 3a in good yield. 2a could be conveniently converted to 3b and 3d, in which the Br group or OTf group provides a platform for further transition-metal-catalyzed coupling reactions (for details, see SI). Manganese dioxide enabled dehydrogenation of 2a afforded 3c smoothly. Pd-catalyzed Kumada reaction of 2s could furnish 3e. An additional feature of our protocol is the introduction of sulfonyl group onto the lamellarin core. Because of the unique biological and chemical properties, sulfone-containing molecules is of great importance.15 Accordingly, we expect that the presence of a sulfone moiety in pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline core might also possess interesting biological activity and could be a useful analogue for structure-activity-relationship (SAR) study.

application of our reaction, we attempted to functionalize product 2ab. Delightfully, 2ab could be converted to the corresponding methyl ester 3f with excellent yield by a Pd-catalyzed one-pot reaction (Scheme 3).16,17 According to the established protocols to prepare lamellarin derivatives,12i,12k we believe that compound 3f might be ornamented to sulfone containing lamellarin analogues.

Conclusions In conclusion, we have developed a gold-catalyzed tandem reaction of 2-(hetero)-aryl-1amines derived diynamides. A remarkable feature of this transformation is the participation of all three functional moieties on the nitrogen of ynamide, thus a variety of complex sulfonecontaining pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines could be synthesized conveniently in a modular manner.
