A Bifurcated Multicomponent Synthesis Approach to Polycyclic Quinazolinones.

The rapid synthesis of diverse substituted polycyclic quinazolinones was achieved by two orthogonal Ugi four-component reaction (Ugi-4CR)-based protocols: the first two-step approach via an ammonia-Ugi-4CR followed by palladium-catalyzed annulation; in the second approach, cyanamide was used unprecedently as an amine component in Ugi-4CR followed by an AIBN/tributyltin hydride-induced radical reaction. Like no other method, MCR and cyclization could efficiently construct many biologically interesting compounds with tailored properties in very few steps.

Introduction

Quinazolinones are among the very important class of biologically active N-fused heterocyclic scaffolds that have been involved in many marketed drugs or potential candidates.[1] Notably, polycyclic quinazolinones, such as luotonins (1–3), sclerotigenin (4), and rutaecarpine (5), have been reported to exhibit a broad spectrum of biological activities.[2] Thus, the large structural diversity and promising therapeutic potential of polycyclic quinazolinone analogs have inspired chemists to further explore novel variants of quinazolinone structures or develop more efficient synthetic methodologies.

Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) are reactions that employ at least three starting materials to form one single product, where the majority of the atoms from starting materials are incorporated into final products.[3] Due to their high efficiency, mild conditions, and large scaffolds diversity, the MCRs have become a unique tool for the rapid generation of a great variety of natural products and pharmaceuticals.[4] For example, β-amino amides have been successfully synthesized in a one-pot manner by applying triazenyl alkynes, carboxylic acids, aldehydes, and anilines as the starting materials.[5] The Ugi reaction is one of the most well-known and broadly used MCRs.[6] It has been involved in the synthesis of diverse scaffolds as a key step. For instance, the synthesis of a potent amino acid antibiotic furanomycin and a naturally cyclic peptide ustiloxin D used the Ugi reaction as the critical step.[7] In our previous studies, we have introduced Ugi reactions for constructing important bioactive scaffolds, such as isoquinolone-4-carboxylic acid and isoquinoline scaffolds.[8]

The rapid construction of polycyclic quinazolinones is an extensively studied topic. Several metal catalysts, such as copper, rhodium, and palladium, have been used for the synthesis of the corresponding compounds.[9] The application of radical cyclization as well as self-catalyzed phototandem perfluoroalkylation/cyclization of unactivated alkenes also has been reported for the synthesis of the same scaffolds.[10] As shown in Scheme , these approaches suffer from one or many issues, such as lengthy sequential synthesis, limited scope, and generality.[9−11] Inspired by previous syntheses and based on our deep interest in MCR chemistry, we envisioned that isoindolo[1,2-b]quinazolinone derivatives could be synthesized in a concise manner by an Ugi-4CR reaction of o-bromobenzoic acids, o-cyanobenzaldehydes, isocyanides, and ammonia followed by a metal-catalyzed intramolecular N-arylation to form the desired products.[12] Alternatively, we figured, in a second strategy, that it could also be synthesized by an Ugi-4CR using o-iodobenzaldehyde, benzoic acid, isocyanides, and cyanamide followed by radical cyclization of the N-acylcyanamide moiety since the cyano group is a well-established radical acceptor that has been involved in the build of various heterocycles and carbocycles.[13] We were the first to report cyanamide as an acid component in the Ugi reaction, reacting with enamines and isocyanides in the presence of Lewis acids to give the medicinally important scaffold α-amino-N-cyanoamidines.[14] Here, we report for the first time cyanamide to react as an amine component in the Ugi reaction.

Results and Discussion

As the starting point of our work to elaborate the first strategy, the model Ugi-4CR with 2-bromobenzoic acid (6a), 2-cyanobenzaldehyde (7a), cyclohexyl isocyanide (8a), and NH4Cl (9a) was performed in MeOH/H2O (3:1) under room temperature for 12 h (entry 1) as shown in Table .[15] The precipitated Ugi product 10a formed, and the solid was filtered and washed with diethyl ether giving a 33% yield. We then used MeOH as the solvent (entry 2) or increased the temperature to 55 °C (entry 3), giving yields of 60% and 33%, respectively. Not satisfied, we tried to use ammonia (7 N in MeOH, 9c) instead of NH4Cl in 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) at 55 °C in a closed vial for 12 h (entry 5).[16] No precipitated Ugi product was observed, but a yield of 62% was isolated after flash chromatography purification. Thereafter, the reactions were carried out under room temperature in TFE (entry 6) or MeOH (entry 7), which both formed the precipitated Ugi product with yields of 75% and 60%, respectively. When ammonia (in water, 9b) was used (entry 4), a trace amount of Ugi product was formed. Though 2,4-dimethoxylbenzylamine (entry 8) as an ammonia surrogate showed good performance in this reaction, two steps with a total yield of 59% were not competitive. Finally, the optimized reaction condition was concluded to be ammonia (in MeOH, 9c) in TFE at room temperature for 12 h (entry 6).

With optimized conditions for the Ugi-4CR in hand, we next investigated the subsequent palladium-catalyzed annulation step by exploring varied catalysts, ligands, and bases (Table ). When the reaction was performed in the presence of 5 mol % Pd(OAc)2, 10 mol % 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf), and 2 equiv of K3PO4 in 1,4-dioxane at reflux for overnight, the desired product 10b was obtained in 65% yield (entry 9). When PdCl2 (entry 10) or PdO (entry 11) has been used as the catalyst, the yield decreased to 16% and 20%, respectively. Replacing the dppf with Xantphos resulted in a lower yield (33%, entry 12). To our delight, the desired product 10b was formed in 81% yield by using K2CO3 (entry 15) as the base, compared with K3PO4 (65%, entry 9) and Cs2CO3 (72%, entry 14). Notably, microwaves did not facilitate the reaction as we expected (42%, entry 13). Furthermore, we tried different organometallic complexes giving no product formation or low yields (entry 16–19). Finally, the optimized condition was concluded to be the Ugi adduct 10a, Pd(OAc)2, dppf, and K2CO3 in 1,4-dioxane at reflux overnight (entry 15).

With the optimal conditions in hand, we then set out to explore the scope and limitation of these tandem reactions. A set of Ugi-4CR adducts 10a–33a were efficiently synthesized in moderate to good yields without column purification required for most cases. Aromatic/aliphatic isocyanides, versatile o-bromobenzoic acids, and substituted o-cyanobenzaldehydes were all tolerated well in this ammonia Ugi four-component reaction. Then, all the Ugi adducts were examined to determine the scope of the tandem reaction to furnish the corresponding products 10b–33b.

As can be seen in Scheme , all the Ugi adducts led to the expected polycyclic quinazolinones. We initially replaced cyclohexyl isocyanide with various aromatic isocyanides, such as benzyl (11b, 41%), phenethyl (12b, 70%), phenyl (13b, 78%), thienylmethyl (14b, 46%), and pyridylmethyl (16b, 56%), all giving good yields. Benzyl isocyanides bearing diverse functional groups also performed well in this reaction, as examples, methoxy (15b, 53%), nitrile (22b, 78%), halide (23b, 37%), and trifluoromethoxy (24b, 69%). Further, aliphatic isocyanides 1-adamantyl isocyanide (17b, 85%), tetrahydrofuran-2-ylmethyl isocyanide (18b, 47%), tert-octyl isocyanide (19b, 91%), methyl isocyanoacetate (20b, 63%), and tert-butyl (2-isocyanoethyl)carbamate (21b, 70%) gave good yields as well. This is meaningful since the previously reported methods either have the limited type of substitutions or are non-substituted in this position.[9−11] Meanwhile, by using our strategy, we opened the substitution possibilities at this position for all available isocyanides providing the opportunity for various further chemical modifications.

Acid, isocyanide, aldehyde, and ammonia components are depicted with red, green, blue, and pink color, respectively.

Ugi reaction was carried out using 6 (1 mmol), 7 (1 mmol), 8 (1 mmol), and 9c (1 mmol) in TFE (1 M) for 12 h at r.t.

[Pd]-catalyzed reaction conditions: 10–34a (0.2 mmol), Pd(OAc)2 (5 mol %), dppf (10 mol %), K2CO3 (1 mmol), 1,4 dioxane (2 mL), reflux, overnight.

Yield refers to purified products.

Subsequently, we examined the ability of these tandem reactions to incorporate a diverse panel of carboxylic acids and aldehydes components. All the used acid and aldehyde components were well-tolerated in Ugi-4CR, giving good yields ranging from 45% to 80%. For the subsequent [Pd]-catalyzed annulation, thiophenecarboxylic acid (26b), nicotinic acids (29b, 31b), and naphthoic acid (30b) proceeded smoothly. Nicotinic acids significantly increased yields when compared with benzoic acid (11b), which may probably benefit from the electron-withdrawing effect of the nitrogen atom. Additionally, different functional groups at the aromatic ring of o-bromobenzoic acid were well tolerated, such as methyl (25b, 27b) and bromine (27b). The relatively lower yields have been observed when the methyl group attached may be due to its electron-donating effect, making the acid less reactive. In addition, good substrate tolerance was also achieved for the aldehyde component. 2-Cyano-4-methoxybenzaldehyde (32b) and 4-fluoro-3-cyanobenzaldehyde (33b) yielded 71% and 66% of products. A plausible mechanism of this reaction is that the cyano group is first activated by a transition metal to form a σ-coordination, which will facilitate further nucleophilic addition. Then, the following intramolecular cyclization might be executed by the metal-catalyzed SNAr reaction.

Furthermore, the scalability of this method was investigated. A four-component reaction of 2-bromobenzoic acid (6a), 2-cyanobenzaldehyde (7a), 2-chloro-3-methyl-6-fluorobenzyl isocyanide (8b), and ammonia (9c) was conducted on a 10 mmol scale. The participate was filtered and washed with diethyl ether, affording 2.6 g of Ugi adduct 34a (51%). Then, Ugi adduct 34a yielded 0.88 g of the final cyclized product 34b (41%) through silica gel flash chromatography as shown in Scheme .

Scale-up Synthesis

luotonins A, B, and E (1–3) are naturally occurring cytotoxic alkaloids, being demonstrated as human DNA topoisomerase I (hTopI) poisons.[17] The current synthesis of luotonin derivatives may suffered from multiple synthetic procedures and/or a limited substrate scope.[9−11,18]Scheme illustrates our initial success of luotonin A derivative 35b (51%) synthesis of which the Ugi adduct 35a (43%) was assembled from the appropriate 2-bromobenzoic acid (6a), 2-quinolinecarbonitrile (7b), ammonia (9c), and benzyl isocyanide (8c). Despite this, the Passerini three-component (P-3CR) byproduct was observed in Ugi-4CR. Our strategy could incorporate a variety of functionalities from largely available isocyanides into the luotonin scaffold.

Scheme 4

Synthesis of luotonin Derivatives

Encouraged by our successful development, we continued to explore the second approach via a cyanamide-Ugi-4CR followed by an AIBN/tributyltin hydride-induced radical cyclization. The reaction started with benzoic acid (36), 2-iodobenzaldehyde (37), cyanamide (38), and three different isocyanides (Scheme ). The reactions afforded the corresponding Ugi products 39a–41a with moderate yields because P-3CR byproducts were isolated with a nearly 1:1 ratio from each reaction. The P-3CR product is often observed when less nucleophilic amines are employed in the Ugi-4CR, which can be explained by a low formation of the iminium intermediates in the reaction mixture.[19] To optimize the reaction, we tried several reaction conditions: (i) using 2 equiv of cyanamide; (ii) heating to 60 °C; (iii) using microwaves (100 °C, 30 min); (iv) changing the solvent; (v) adding Lewis acids as the catalyst, such as ZnCl2, TiCl4, HClO4, scandium(III) triflate, ytterbium(III) triflate.[20] Unfortunately, they failed to improve the yields.

Ugi reaction was carried out using 36 (1 mmol), 37 (1 mmol), 8 (1 mmol), and 38 (1 mmol) in TFE (1 M) for 12 h at r.t.

Radical cyclization conditions: 39–41a (0.15 mmol), tributyltin hydride (0.3 mmol), AIBN (0.15 mmol), benzene (7 mL), reflux, overnight.

Yield refers to purified products.

Despite achieving moderate yields, we were able to isolate sufficient quantities of the Ugi products to examine the subsequent step. The reactions were performed between Ugi adducts, tributyltin hydride, and AIBN in benzene at reflux overnight. To our delight, all the three Ugi adducts yielded the corresponding products 39–41b, giving yields of 40%, 47%, and 33%, respectively. Therefore, we have successfully introduced cyanamide into the Ugi-4CR as the amino component that generated the stable N-acylcyanamide moiety, which could undergo further cyclization leading to the desired polycyclic quinazolinones. A plausible mechanism for this radical cascade is that the trapped aromatic radical on the cyanamide triple bond could further cyclize on an aryl substituent. This cyclization undergoes direct addition to form the hexadienyl radical, which further goes with rearomatization.[21]

Conclusions

Two orthogonal Ugi-4CR-based synthesis strategies for fully substituted polycyclic quinazolinone derivatives have been developed. Alternative Ugi-4CRs were instrumental in this approach for introducing the critical cyano group, leading to potentially bioactive polycyclic quinazolinones through two different cyclization mechanisms. For this, we introduced cyanamide for the first time as an amine component in the Ugi-4CR. Remarkably, cyanamide is thus the first amphoteric building block that can function as an acid and amine component in Ugi-type transformations. Significantly, the successfully synthesized N-acylcyanamide moiety, as an efficient amide-iminyl radical, opens the door for the rapid and straightforward synthesis of pharmaceutically important heterocycles by Ugi-4CR. Diverse isocyanides with versatile functional groups can be introduced into the polycyclic quinazolinone scaffold allowing the modification of physicochemical properties, further chemical manipulations, and so on. Our protocol is outperforming all known strategies toward this important scaffold in terms of utilization and accessibility of commercially available starting materials, mild conditions, and simple purification work-up and is of excellent maneuverability and efficiency. Work aiming at the optimization of cyanamide involved Ugi-4CR as well as extending the scope of the subsequent annulation is in progress and will be reported in due course.

General Experimental Procedure of Ammonia-Ugi-4CR

To a stirred solution of aldehyde (1 mmol, 1 equiv) in 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (1 mL) was added ammonia solution (7 N in methanol, 1 mmol, 1 equiv) and stirred for 10 min followed by the addition of isocyanide (1 mmol, 1 equiv) and carboxylic acid (1 mmol, 1 equiv). The reaction was allowed to stir at room temperature in a close screwed vial for 12 h. The precipitate was filtered and washed with diethyl ether, affording the corresponding Ugi adduct. Otherwise, the Ugi adduct was purified by silica gel flash chromatography using either PE/EA or DCM/MeOH as the eluent.

The mixture was heated to reflux in a metal heating block overnight. After the reaction was completed, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel flash chromatography using either PE/EA or DCM/MeOH as the eluent.

We sealed the reaction flask immediately and allowed it to stir for 10 min. Then, 2-chloro-4-fluoro-3-(isocyanomethyl)-1-methylbenzene (10 mmol, 1.8 g, 1 equiv) and 2-bromobenzoic acid (10 mmol, 2.0 g, 1 equiv) were added to the solution and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 h. The precipitate was filtrated and washed by diethyl ether, affording the pure Ugi adduct 34a with a yield of 51%. Then, the Ugi adduct (5 mmol, 2.6 g, 1 equiv) was added to Pd(OAc)2 (0.25 mmol, 56 mg, 0.05 equiv), dppf (0.5 mmol, 277 mg, 0.1 equiv), and K2CO3 (10 mmol, 1.4 g, 2 equiv) in 1,4-dioxane (50 mL) in a 200 mL round flask with a magnetic stirrer bar. The reaction mixture was heated to reflux in an oil bath overnight. After the reaction was completed, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the crude product was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, petroleum ether/ethyl acetate = 2:1) to afford the product 34b (0.88 g, 41% yield).

To a stirred solution of 2-quinolinecarbonitrile (1 mmol, 154 mg, 1 equiv) in 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (1 mL) was added ammonia solution (7 N in methanol, 1 mmol, 140 μL, 1 equiv) and stirred for 10 min followed by the addition of benzyl isocyanide (1 mmol, 117 mg, 1 equiv) and 2-bromobenzoic acid (1 mmol, 201 mg, 1 equiv). The reaction was allowed to stir at room temperature in a close screwed vial for 12 h. The reaction was concentrated and purified by column chromatography (silica gel, petroleum ether/ethyl acetate as eluent) to afford the corresponding Ugi product 35a. Subsequently, the Ugi adduct (0.15 mmol, 75 mg, 1 equiv), Pd(OAc)2 (0.0075 mmol, 1.7 mg, 0.05 equiv), dppf (0.015 mmol, 8.3 mg, 0.1 equiv), and K2CO3 (0.3 mmol, 41.5 mg, 2 equiv) were added to a 5 mL reaction tube equipped with a magnetic stir bar, and 1.5 mL of 1,4-dioxane was added. The mixture was heated to reflux in a metal heating block overnight. After the reaction was completed, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel flash chromatography using PE/EA as the eluent.

General Experimental Procedure of Cyanamide-Ugi-4CR

To a stirred solution of aldehyde (1 mmol, 1 equiv) in MeOH (1 mL) was added cyanamide (1 mmol, 1 equiv) and stirred for 30 min followed by the addition of isocyanide (1 mmol, 1 equiv) and carboxylic acid (1 mmol, 1 equiv). The reaction was allowed to stir at room temperature for 12 h. The reaction was concentrated and purified by column chromatography (silica gel, petroleum ether/ethyl acetate = 2:1) to afford the corresponding Ugi product.
