An efficient and general method for the synthesis of 1,4-oxazepines is described. When reacted with ZnCl2 in DCM at 40 degrees C or CHCl3 at 61 degrees C, N-propargylic -enaminones undergo 7-exo-dig cyclization to afford 2-methylene-2,3-dihydro-1,4-oxazepines in good to high yields. This cyclization has been found to be general for a diverse range of N-propargylic -enaminones, and proceeds with high efficiency and with broad functional group tolerance. The reactions in refluxing CHCl3 produced 1,4-oxazepines in comparatively short reaction times and with better yields that those obtained in refluxing DCM. This operationally easy method may provide rapid access to a library of functionalized 1,4-oxazepine derivatives of pharmacological interest.

A New Strategy for the Synthesis of 4-Propargyl-Substituted 1H-Pyrroles from N-(5-phenyl-2,4-pentadiynyl) beta-Enaminones
Yılmaz, Elif Serel; Zora, Metin (2019-10-09)
A new method for the synthesis of 4-propargyl-substituted 1H-pyrroles is described. When treated with sodium hydride in refluxing dichloromethane, N-(5-phenyl-2,4-pentadiynyl) beta-enaminones, synthesized by the coupling of N-propargylic beta-enaminones with phenylacetylene, afforded 4-propargyl-substituted pyrrole derivatives. This conversion was general for a variety of N-(5-phenyl-2,4-pentadiynyl) beta-enaminones and displayed broad functional group tolerance. During the reaction, not only cyclization of...
Efficient synthesis of ferrocenylenones by Friedel-Crafts acylation with EtAlCl2-Me3Al
Doğan, Özdemir; ZEYTİNCİ, SERHAT; KOYUNCU, HASAN; BULUT, ADNAN (2005-01-17)
Efficient synthesis of ferrocenyl en ones using a Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction is described. Acryloyl, methacryloyl, crotonoyl, cinnamoyl, and beta-methylcrotonoyl chlorides react with ferrocene in the presence of a Lewis acid (EtAlC2 or EtAlCl2-Me3Al) to give the corresponding ferrocenyl en ones (acryloyl, methacryloyl, crotonoyl, cinnamoyl, and methylcrotonoylferrocenes) in good isolated yields. Besides ferrocenylenones, chloroactylferrocene is also synthesised by this method.
TFA catalyzed sequential amination/annulation/aromatization reaction of 2-propynyl-1.3-dicarbonyl compounds with amines: A new one-pot approach to functionalized pyrroles
Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Aybey, Asuman; Kayalar, Metin (ARKAT USA, Inc., 2005-10-9)
Highly flexible and efficient syntheses of 1,2,3,5-substituted pyrroles starting from 2-propynyl1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and amines are presented. TFA catalyzed formation of the pyrroles is suggested to proceed through sequential amination of the carbonyl compounds followed by regioselective 5-exo-dig cyclization of the enaminone intermediate and aromatization.
A new approach for the synthesis of spiro and gem-dimethyl-substituted 1,4-oxazepines from N-propargylic beta-enaminones
Karadeniz, Eda; Kelgökmen, Yılmaz; Zora, Metin (Wiley, 2020-11-01)
An efficient and general method for the synthesis of spiro-1,4-oxazepines and 3,3-dimethyl-1,4-oxazepines is reported. When treated with ZnI2 and AgSbF6 in refluxing DCE, cyclohexane-embedded N-propargylic beta-enaminones underwent 7-exo-dig cyclization to afford spiro-1,4-oxazepines, specifically 12-methylene-11-oxa-7-azaspiro[5.6]dodeca-7,9-dienes, in good to high yields. Accordingly, N-(1,1-dimethyl)propargylic beta-enaminones produced 3,3-dimethyl-1,4-oxazepines. Cyclization was found to be general for ...
Selective synthesis of N-substituted pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazin-1(2H)-one derivatives via alkyne cyclization
Cetinkaya, Yasin; Balcı, Metin (2014-12-03)
A novel and efficient synthesis of N-substituted pyrrolo-pyrazinone derivatives has been developed. A trichloroacetyl group connected to the pyrrole ring was converted into the desired carboxamide derivatives. Promoted by NaH, the pyrrole carboxamide derivatives underwent a tandem reaction with propargyl bromide to afford pyrrolo-pyrazinones with high efficiency under very mild conditions. The mechanism for the formation of the products is discussed and supported by DFT calculations. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. ...
