ABSTRACT: A highly regioselective iodine-mediated cascade reaction for the synthesis of multifunctional polyheterocyclic systems is developed by employing 3-(2-oxo-2-arylethylidene)oxindoles and 1,4-benzoxazinone as starting materials. The polyheterocycles are skillfully embraced with oxindole, pyrrole, and coumarin scaffolds, which are well-known for their enriched biological activity. The current approach worked under mild reaction conditions. The reaction afforded a single product, and no rotameric and keto−enol isomeric products are formed. The method is environmentally benign and atomeconomical, and the only side product of this reaction is water. This protocol obviates the purification techniques such as column chromatography for the isolation of the products. The products were isolated by decantation of the solvent or by recrystallization. The reaction proceeds through inter- and intramolecular C−C and C−N bond formation.

component coupling.13,14 Nonetheless, it is still a formidable challenge to design a ideal synthetic protocol that is environmentally friendly and step economic using less hazardous reagents under mild reaction conditions. The domino approach15 is one of the best choices for attaining atom and step economy and an efficient tool to construct complex systems enveloped with multiple heterocyclic units. Herein, we describe a molecular iodine-mediated, highly regioselective, environmentally benign, and competent domino reaction for the synthesis of novel multifunctional pyrrole polyheterocycles bearing oxindole and coumarin scaffolds as their structural motifs by employing 3(2-oxo-2-arylethylidene)oxindoles and 1,4-benzoheterocyles as starting materials. To the best of our knowledge, the combination of these three potent scaffolds in a single molecule is unique.

INTRODUCTION Nature is a hub of natural compounds providing potent scaffolds that can be combined, leading to polyheterocyclic/hybrid/ complex molecules that emerge as novel drugs in discovery approach.1 The design of molecules that connect potent scaffolds having manifold functionalities is a challenging theme in synthetic organic chemistry. Among the potent scaffolds, oxindole, coumarin, and pyrrole have a multitude of biological and pharmacological activities such as anti-inflammatory, antiviral, anxiolytic, antitumor, antileukemic, antitumoral, antiHIV, antibacterial, antifungal, antimalarial, antioxidant, and central nervous system stimulating activities.2−4 Moreover, pyrrole is the key structural fragment of porphyrins, corrins, and chlorins, which are found in heme, vitamin B12, and chlorophyll, respectively. In particular, the pyrrole scaffold is found in marine natural compounds lamellarins, ningalins, and lukianols, which possess significant biological properties, including cytotoxicity, antitumor activity, reversal of multidrug resistance (MDR) activity, cell division inhibition, immunomodulatory activity, etc.5,6 Apart from these properties, substituted pyrroles are also widely used in material science,7 bioorganic chemistry,8 and supramolecular chemistry.9 Because of the eloquent chemical and biological properties of these motifs, many efforts have been made to develop more efficient synthetic routes to obtain polyheterocycles based on pyrrole scaffolds. A variety of elegant methods for the synthesis of substituted pyrroles have been developed in the past decades.10,11 However, facile and efficient procedures for the synthesis of multisubstituted pyrroles remain highly desirable. The recent procedures for the synthesis of substituted pyrroles were mainly based on transition-metal-catalyzed cyclization12 and multi© 2017 American Chemical Society

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION In a pilot experiment, oxindole 1a and 1,4-benzoxazinone 2a were taken as model substrates. The reaction of 1a and 2a in DCM in the presence of FeCl3 essentially led to the formation of regioselective polysubstituted pyrrole 3aa in 68% yield in 12 h (Table 1, entry 1). Fortified by the result obtained, we investigated the reaction with various catalysts. The replacement of FeCl3 with various Lewis acids and Brønsted acids such as ZnCl2, ZrCl4, p-TSA·H2O, and HCl demonstrated somewhat lower efficiency compared with FeCl3 (entries 2−5). However, no product formation was observed when the reaction was carried out with TFA (entry 6). Screening the reaction with BF3· OEt2 and I2 provided the product 3aa in acceptable yield (entries Received: June 21, 2017 Published: August 24, 2017 9360

exponentially by raising the temperature of the reaction to 70 °C by enabling the formation of multisubstituted pyrrole 3aa in 93% yield in 1 h (entry 22). No increment in yield was noticed on increasing the temperature from 70 to 90 °C (entry 23). We further performed the experiments at 70 °C with varying amounts of molecular iodine (entries 24−26). Subsequently, with 30 mol % of iodine, the reaction of 3-phenacylideneoxindoles1a and 1,4-benzoxazinone 2a at 70 °C provided the polyheterocycle 3aa in optimum yield (entry 25). To test the role of catalyst in this protocol, the reaction was performed at different temperature conditions without catalyst. Even after 12 h, the reaction did not afford even traces of pyrrole embedded product 3aa, and the starting materials were found to be intact (entries 27 and 28). This justifies the significant role of the catalyst in the reaction. It should be highlighted that the isolation of the pyrrole polyheterocycle 3aa was achieved through simple decantation of acetonitrile or by recrystallization, and no column chromatography technique was used for purification. It is also worth mentioning that the polysubstituted pyrrrole 3aa was obtained with complete regioselectivity. Once the optimized reaction conditions were established, we investigated the substrate scope of the current protocol, and the results are summarized in Table 2. As shown, the reaction displayed a wide substrate scope. The reaction tolerated the employment of different substituents on different positions of the substrates. First, we focused our attention on 3-(2-oxo-2arylethylidene)oxindoles 1 so as to determine the electronic effects on the reaction. The role of the nature of the aryl substituents on substrate 1 was investigated, and we found that the reaction showed good acceptance for both electronwithdrawing and -releasing groups to furnish products 3 in highly regioselective manner in satisfactory yields (entries 1−4). The reaction also worked well with bromo and methoxy substituents on the oxindole moiety, and the reaction efficiency was similar to those examined for the unsubstituted system (entries 6, 7, and 16). With N-methyl-substituted oxindoles also, the reaction provided the polyhetrocyclic products (3ea, 3eb, and 3ec) in excellent yield (entries 5, 20, and 21). To further explore the versatility of this protocol, a feasibility investigation of substrate 1,4-benzoxazinone 2 by varying the substituents on the aromatic ring was also carried out (Table 2). By changing the substituents on the aromatic ring of substrate 2 at positions 4−and 6, the reactions were executed (entries 8− 22). Much to our satisfaction, the reaction demonstrated good compatibility for diverse substituents on benzoxazinones, and both electron-releasing and -withdrawing groups at different positions on the aryl ring worked well to furnish the products 3 in acceptable yields with complete regioselectivity (Table 2). The 5CN-substituted quinoxalinone 2e provided the product 3ae in comparatively low yields; the cyano group in 2e is probably para to −NH, and hence, the direct electron-withdrawing effect of the cyano group decreases the yield of reaction (entry 18). The nitro group substituted quinoxalinone 2d also afforded the product 3ad in lower yield with longer reaction time for completion, presumably due to the poor solubility of substrate (entry 17). To highlight the synthetic applicability of the current protocol, the reactions of 3-(2-oxo-2-arylethylidene)oxindoles 1a−c were performed with 1,4-benzoxazinone 2g (Table 3). Delightfully, the reaction worked well with 2g, and the lactams incorporated polyheterocyles 3ag−cg were obtained in high yields with complete regioselectivity.

7 and 8). We further checked the performance of the reaction with a series of solvents. In polar protic solvents like methanol, ethanol, and water, the reaction was found to be unfavorable for the formation of pyrrole heterocycle 3aa at room temperature as well as at higher temperature; and starting materials were recovered (entries 9−13). Returning to the use of halogenated solvents like chloroform and DCE, the reaction afforded the multisubstituted pyrrole 3aa in moderate yields (entries 14 and 15). Successive screening of the reaction in solvents like toluene, ethyl acetate, THF, and hexane with I2 as catalyst furnished the polyheterocycle 3aa in 55%, 57%, 45%, and 45% yield in 12 h, respectively (entries 16−19). The reaction, when performed under solvent-free conditions, did not provide the product, and the starting materials were recovered (entry 20). Surprisingly, ACN facilitated the reaction, and polysubstituted pyrrole 3aa was obtained in satisfactory yield in only 5 h simply by decantation of the solvent (entry 21). Satisfied with the results obtained from the reaction in ACN, we further optimized the reaction at elevated temperature; notably, the reaction rate was increased 9361

mixture of these. Notably, the current protocol is completely regioselective and furnished product 3aa exclusively in excellent yield. The structure of product 3aa was assigned by 1H and 13 C{1H} NMR spectral analysis. The singlet at δ 4.53 ppm in 1H NMR (100 MHz) of product 3aa accounts for the proton situated at the third position of the oxindole moiety. The peak at δ 43.3 ppm in the 13C NMR (100 MHz) spectrum of the polyheterocycle 3aa corresponds to the carbon located at the third position of the oxindole moiety. Finally, the structure of 3aa was unambiguously confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis16 (see the Supporting Information). The structures of products 3ba−cg were determined by analogy (see Supporting Information). Another worth mentioning structural feature of polyheterocycle pyrroles 3 was their tendency to exist as conformer mixtures owing to restricted rotation around the pyrrole-oxindole bond i.e., rotamers14b and also keto−enol tautomeric17 products could be expected which may be attributed to the equilibrium of the keto−enol tautomers existing in the oxindole moiety. To our delight, only single product was observed in each case without any rotameric and tautomeric isomers. Careful examination of the 1H NMR of all the products revealed that only single set of peaks characterizing the product 3 was observed and no extra peaks corresponding to rotamers and

Figure 1. Reactivity of 3-phenacylideneoxindoles 1 with 1,4-benzoxazinone 2.

On the basis of above results and previous literature,15,18 the mechanistic proposal for the current cascade protocol is outlined (Figure 2). Initially, molecular iodine activates both ylidene oxindole and 1,4-benzoxazinone. After activation, the process involves the Michael attack of substrate 2 on the α-position of oxindole 1 to generate intermediate C. Consequently, C undergoes cyclization through intramolecular attack of benzoxazinone nitrogen on carbonyl moiety to generate intermediate D. The aromatization of pyrroline moiety to the pyrrole ring by the elimination of water molecule results in the formation of novel polyheterocycle 3.

tautomers were noticed, thus confirming the regioselectivity of the current protocol (see Supporting Information). To test the practical utility of the reaction, a gram-scale reaction was carried out using 3-phenacylideneoxindoles 1a (4.2 mmol) with quinoxalinone 2a (4.2 mmol) under optimum conditions (Scheme 1). Delightfully, polyheterocycle pyrrole 3aa was obtained in 1 h and isolated in 92% yield by decantation of solvent. Scheme 1. Gram-Scale Synthesis of 3aa

CONCLUSIONS

An iodine-mediated efficient, regioselective approach for the synthesis of polyheterocyles embraced with biologically potent scaffolds, viz. oxindole, coumarin, and pyrrole, was accomplished under mild conditions. The protocol provided products free from rotamers and keto−enol tautomers. The methodology follows an eco-friendly approach and avoids the use of column chromatography techniques for the isolation of products. The

EXPERIMENTAL SECTION

General Information. Unless otherwise noted, chemicals were purchased from commercial suppliers at the highest purity grade available and were used without further purification. 3-(2-Oxo-2arylethylidene) oxindoles 1 and 1,4-benzoxazinones 2 were synthesized by a literature method (see the Supporting Information). Thin-layer chromatography was performed on precoated 0.25 mm silica gel plates (60F-254) using UV light as visualizing agent and/or iodine as developing agent. Silica gel (100−200 mesh) was used for column chromatography. Melting points were uncorrected. 1H and 13C NMR spectra were recorded on 400 or 500 MHz NMR spectrometers. Spectra were referenced internally to the residual proton resonance in CDCl3 (δ 7.26 ppm), DMSO-d6 (δ 2.50 ppm), or with tetramethylsilane (TMS, δ 0.00 ppm) as the internal standard. Chemical shifts (δ) were reported as part per million (ppm) on the δ scale downfield from TMS. 13C NMR spectra were referenced to CDCl3 (δ 77.0 ppm, the middle peak) and DMSO-d6 (δ 39.5 ppm, the middle peak). Coupling constants are expressed in Hz. The following abbreviations are used to explain the multiplicities: s = singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, m = multiplet, dd = doublet of doublet. High-resolution mass spectra (HRMS) were obtained on a Brüker micrOTOF-Q II. General Procedure. To a mixture of 1,4-benzoxazinone (0.25 mmol) and 3-(2-oxo-2-arylethylidene)oxindole derivative (0.25 mmol) in 2.5 mL of acetonitrile was added iodine (19 mg, 0.075 mmol), and the reaction mixture was stirred at 70 °C for the appropriate time (Table S1). After completion of the reaction, as indicated by the TLC, the crude product was filtered. The solid was recrystallized in ethyl acetate/ methanol to afford pure product. In the case of 1,4-benzoxazinones 2d and 2e (Table 2, entries 17, 19, and 22), where the reactions were incomplete, the pure product was obtained by double recrystallization or subjecting the crude reaction mixture to column chromatography on silica gel (100−200 mesh) using ethyl acetate/hexanes (40:60) as the eluting system. 3aa.
