Description/Abstract
N-Alkylation of 4,5-dihydroimidazoles with alkene-containing bromomethyl ketones and treatment of the so-formed 4,5-dihydroimidazolium ions with DBU gives rise to an intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction that affords ( via a reaction cascade involving eliminative ring-opening, recyclisation and prototropic tautomerism) unexpected hexahydropyrrolo[1,2,3-de] quinoxaline products. Steric bulk in both the dihydroimidazole and the dipolarophile allows isolation of an imidazo[ 1,2-a] indole, the initial product of cycloaddition. When the bromomethyl ketone contains no other functionality, or when cycloaddition is inhibited due to steric constraints, the dihydroimidazolium ion undergoes ring-opening hydrolysis followed by recyclization of the exposed amino ketone to afford either 3-alkyl-1-formylpiperazine-2-ones or 3-aryl-1-formyl-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrazines.
