ABSTRACT: An efficient and concise one-pot procedure was developed based on a cascade reaction of 3-formylchromones 1 and different types of 1,1-enediamines (EDAMs) 2 with different alcohols or amines 3 by a site-selective synthesis of 5Hchromeno[4,3-b]pyridines in an environmentally friendly solvent. This protocol is especially suitable for the efficient and rapid parallel synthesis of 5H-chromeno[4,3-b]pyridine compounds. It also has some advantages, such as convenience of operation, short reaction times, use of a green solvent, and ease of purification by washing the crude products with ethanol.



INTRODUCTION With the development of green chemistry, environmentally friendly and sustainable synthetic methods and technologies have been widely adopted for chemical synthesis of compounds.1,2 Among them, group-assisted purification (GAP)3 chemistry, which does not involve the use of traditional purification by chromatography or recrystallization, is a conception that encourages researchers to do their best to search for environmentally benign reagents and reactions to reduce the waste generated from silica and solvents, particularly toxic solvents. In addition, compared to the traditional stepwise reaction process, multicomponent reactions (MCRs)4,5 are also valuable for environmentally friendly chemistry due to their simple operation, short reaction time, reduced use of toxic and hazardous chemicals, lower production of chemical byproducts, ease of processing for isolation and purification, high yield, and saving of materials. MCRs can be largely responsible for increasing the rate of utilization of atomic reactions and usually can be used to make the natural products or complex biological molecules, which can solve complex problems in a simple synthetic way. 3-Formylchromones are a type of simple building blocks6,7 that usually act as the α,β-unsaturated aldehydes that use C1 as a 1,4-Michael acceptor and C4 as a 1,2-addition acceptor to react with many kinds of bis-nucleophilic reagents for the synthesis of fused-ring compounds. However, the three reaction sites (C1, C3, and C4) of 3-formylchromones (Scheme 1) are combined in one reaction to synthesize more complex compounds never reported before.

are fascinating and versatile building blocks, which are widely used to synthesize various fused heterocyclic compounds.8−11 Some of these compounds have a wide range of biological activities.12−14 The chromenopyridines, which are a combination of pyridines and chromenones, have a wide range of biological properties, including antitumor (Figure 1, compounds A and B),15 antibacterial (compound C),16 antipsychotic (compound D), nervous system depressant (Figure 1, schumanniophytine), and anti-inflammatory (amlexanox)17 effects. Consequently, chromenopyridines have aroused extensive research interest among chemists and pharmacologists. To date, assorted methods have been applied to the synthesis of chromenopyridine derivatives;18−23 these methods include the hetero-Diels− Alder reaction,18 intramolecular C−C bond coupling reactions, the coupling reactions of arylpropynyloxy-benzonitriles with diaryliodonium triflates,19 [3+2+1] cycloaddition strategy,20 etc. The major building blocks, including 3-formylchromones,21 4-hydroxy-2H-chromen-2-one,22 4-chloro-2-oxo-2H-chromene3-carbalde-hyde,23 4-(arylamino)-2H-chro-men-2-one,24 3-benzoyl-4H-chromen-4-one, and chroman-4-one, have been used as substrates to construct chromenopyridine compounds. Although these methods have made an important contribution to the synthesis of chromenopyridines, they usually have some shortcomings, such as requiring a high temperature, metal catalyst, multisteps, etc. Accordingly, a highly efficient and mild multicomponent one-pot cascade reaction for the synthesis of Received: January 12, 2018 Published: April 12, 2018 4981

temperature, and the catalysts were carefully evaluated, and the results are shown in Table 1. First, the model reaction was investigated in six different solvents under refluxing treatment, and the highest yield reached up to 64% in ethanol (Table 1, entry 3). Second, we performed the reaction at different temperatures in ethanol (Table 1, entries 3 and 7−9). The results revealed that the reaction temperature had a considerable effect on the reaction, and the yield of the target compound 4aa was 85% at 50 °C (Table 1, entry 10). Raising the temperature decreased the reaction time, but too low or too high of a temperature was unfavorable for the reaction (Table 1, entries 3 and 7). Third, we also studied the amount of solvent and found that 4 mL of solvent is the optimum amount to obtain the highest yield of the target compound 4aa (Table 1, entries 8 and 10−12). Finally, the different acid catalysts including HClO4, acetic acid (HOAc), trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), methanesulfonic acid (MeSO3H), and HCl were evaluated, and it was discovered that HClO4 was the optimal catalyst to produce the best yields (Table 1, entries 10 vs 13− 16). Thus, the best reaction conditions for the synthesis of compound 4aa were as follows: temperature under 50 °C, for

The three-component cascade reaction of 3-formylchromones, 1,1-enediamines, and ethanol/amine proceeded in ethanol or acetone to produce chromeno[4,3-b] pyridines in moderate to good yields. Ethanol acts both as a substrate and a solvent. The three sites (C1, C3, and C4) of 3-formylchromones are concurrently present in the multicomponent cascade reactions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of the synthesis of novel 5H-chromeno[4,3-b]pyridines by a three-component cascade reaction involving the three sites (C1, C3, and C4) of 3-formylchromones. This procedure, referred to as GAP chemistry, has many advantages, including convenience of operation, short reaction times, a green solvent, and simple purification by washing the crude products with ethanol.



RESULTS AND DISCUSSION To optimize the reaction conditions for the synthesis of 5Hchromeno[4,3-b]pyridines 4aa, 3-formylchromone 1a and (Z)N-butyl-2-nitroethene-1,1-diamine 2a were used as substrates in the model reaction to determine the optimal reaction conditions.

24 h in 4 mL of ethanol, to obtain a product yield of 85% (Table 1, entry 10). Based on the optimal reaction conditions, we further investigated the scope and generality of the cascade addition and condensation reactions of the 3-formylchromones with 1,1enediamines. Different 3-formylchromones 1 and 1,1-enediamines 2 were used in this protocol (Table 2). First, 3-formylchromones 1a was used as a substrate to react with different 1,1-enediamines 2a−2l (Table 2, entries 1−12). The results revealed that the substituted group on the 1,1-enediamines 2 has only a slight influence on the yield, which did not lead us to find the obvious rules (Table 2, entries 1 and 3−12). However, the use of 2nitroethene-1,1-diamine 2b as a substrate to synthesize the product only led to the lowest yield (74%); the reactivity of the two amino groups of 2b maybe is the best and produced more byproducts. Second, the 6-fluoro-3-formylchromone 1b reacted with 1,1-enediamines 2a and 2e−2l (Table 2, entries 13−21), and the results indicated that the substituted group on the 1,1enediamines 2 does not have a prominent influence on the yield (Table 2, entries 13−21). Finally, the other three 3formylchromones 1c−1e were also used in this method. We also produced the target compounds with excellent yields (Table 2, entries 22−30). Overall, we conclude that the electron-drawing groups on the 3-formylchromone 1 generally can produce higher yields than electron-donating groups (1b,

1c > 1a > 1e) (Table 2, entries 1−12 and 28−30 vs 13−24). However, the NO2-substituented 3-formylchromone 1d did not conform with this law and only produced a lower yield (Table 2, entries 25−27 vs 1−24 and 28−30). After examining the participation of ethanol in this reaction, we wanted to test whether the other alcohols and amine compounds were compatible with this methodology. Accordingly, we conducted the reactions with a series of other alcohols and amines in acetone in place of ethanol. The optimized conditions successfully produced the substituted 5H-chromeno[4,3-b]pyridines in good to excellent yields (Table 3, entries 1− 7). This result demonstrates that this method for the synthesis of substituted 5H-chromeno[4,3-b]pyridines is viable for a variety of nucleophilic substrates 3b−3h (Table 3, entries 1− 7). A proposed mechanism for this cascade reaction is shown in Scheme 2. First, the α-C of 1,1-enediamine 2 attacks the aldehyde group of the 3-formylchromone 1 to generate the intermediate 5 via a 1,2-addition reaction; this step has a very high site selectivity. Second, the intermediate 5 forms the intermediate 6 via an intramolecular 1,2-addition. Next, the intermediate 7 is obtained through the imine-enamine tautomerization of intermediate 6. The intermediate 7 received one proton to form the intermediate 8, which is followed by the loss of one molecule of water to produce the intermediate 9. Then, the intermediate 9 lost one molecule of water and 4984

All chemicals and solvents were used as received without further purification unless otherwise stated. Column chromatography was performed on silica gel (200−300 mesh). The materials were purchased from Adamas-beta. Compounds 2 were prepared according to the literature.25 General Procedure for the Synthesis of Compounds 4aa− 4ek. 3-Formylchromone 1 (0.5 mmol) was dissolved in ethanol (4 mL), and 1,1-enediamine 2 (0.5 mmol) was added to the mixture. The reaction mixture was stirred at 50 °C until full consumption of 1,1enediamine 2, which was observed by thin layer chromatography (TLC); then one drop of HClO4 was added. The resulting solvent was stirred for a further 10 min at 50 °C and cooled to room temperature. The formed precipitate was then filtered and washed with ethanol to produce the pure products 4aa−4ek. The products were further identified by NMR spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, and HRMS.

underwent a carbonium ion rearrangement to give intermediate 10. Finally, intermediate 10 is attacked by the alkoxyl or alkyl amino to produce the final product 4. These results demonstrated that only one catalytic amount of HClO4 is required, and this reaction is essentially completely environment friendly. It must be noted that the cascade reaction has very high regioselectivity. As a result, only the target products 4 and 4′ were obtained under the current reaction conditions. Although the substrates are similar to those used by Poomathi (ref 21b), the mechanism of the reaction is completely different. Poomathi added the In(OTf)3 as a catalyst at the beginning of the reaction, and 3-formylchromone and In(OTf)3 initially formed complex 3.21b Instead, in our work, first, the αC of 1,1-enediamine 2 attacks the aldehyde group of the 3formylchromone 1 to generate the intermediate 5 via a 1,2addition reaction until the fourth step, as the intermediate 7 received one proton of HClO4 to form the intermediate 8 (Scheme 2). To prove this mechanism, we tried to make the mixture of 1a and 2a in ethanol at 50 °C for 12 h and subsequently one drop of HClO4 was added to the mixture. Then, we immediately injected the reaction mixture into the high-pressure liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry (HPLCHRMS) system. The molecular ion peak appeared in the highresolution mass spectrometry. (HRMS (TOF ES+): m/z calcd for C16H18N3O4 [M]+, 316.1298; found, 316.1292. See the Supporting Information, which is the HRMS spectra of intermediate 9.) Products 4 were characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (13C NMR), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and HRMS. The results were all in agreement with the proposed structures. In order to further verify the structure of the substituted 5H-chromeno[4,3-b]pyridines, 4bg was selected as the representative compound and characterized by X-ray crystallography. (See the Supporting Information, Figure S1, CCDC no. 1578705.)



CONCLUSIONS In summary, we have developed an efficient three-component cascade reaction for the preparation of novel 5H-chromeno[4,3-b]pyridines using environment friendly solvent and conditions. We use the GAP chemistry strategy, using only a simple filtration and washing the crude product to obtain the pure product. This approach minimizes solvent consumption by avoiding traditional purification techniques, such as column chromatography. This method is also an efficient and flexible route for the synthesis of a variety of 5H-chromeno[4,3b]pyridines by the reaction of 3-formylchromone, 1,1-enediamines, and alcohol or amine derivatives.



EXPERIMENTAL SECTION

General Methods. All compounds were fully characterized by spectroscopic data. The NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker Avance (1H 500 MHz, 13C 125 MHz) or Bruker Avance (1H 600 MHz, 13C 150 MHz) spectrometer. Chemical shifts (δ) are expressed in ppm; coupling constants (J) are given in hertz (Hz), and deuterated CDCl3 and DMSO-d6 were used as solvents. IR spectra were recorded on a FT-IR Thermo Nicolet Avatar 360 unit using KBr pellets. The reactions were monitored by thin layer chromatography (TLC) using silica gel GF254. The melting points were determined on an XT-4A melting point apparatus and are uncorrected. High-resolution mass spectra (HRMS-TOF) were performed on an AutoSpec Premier P776 unit. X-ray diffraction was obtained by an APEX DUO diffractometer. 4985

General Procedure for the Synthesis of Compounds 4a′− 4g′. 3-Formylchromone 1 (0.5 mmol) was dissolved in acetone (4 mL), and 1,1-enediamine 2 (0.5 mmol) was added to the mixture. The reaction mixture was stirred at 50 °C until full consumption of 1,1enediamine 2, which was observed by thin layer chromatography (TLC); then alcohol or amine 3 (0.6 mmol) and one drop of HClO4 were added. The resulting solvent was stirred for a further 10 min at 50 °C and cooled to room temperature. The formed precipitate was then filtered and washed with ethanol to produce the pure products 4a′−4g′.
