An obvious outcome of the Hantzsch synthesis is the symmetrical nature of the dihydropyridines produced. A double protection strategy has been developed to address this issue. The protected chalcone 103 was reacted with an orthogonally protected ketoester to generate dihydropyridine 104. Selective deprotection of the ester at C3 could be accomplished and the resultant acid coupled with the appropriate amine. Iteration of this sequence with the C5 ester substituent ultimately gave rise to the unsymmetrical 1,4-dihydropyridine 105. 

Table 3 summarizes the scope and limitation of substrates for this hydrogenation. Complex 5 acts as a highly effective catalyst for functionalized olefins with unprotected amines (the order of activity tertiary > secondary primary), ethers, esters, fluorinated aryl groups, and others [27, 30]. However, in contrast to the reduction of a,p-unsaturated esters decomposition of 5 was observed when a,p-unsaturated ketones (e.g., trans-chalcone, trans-4-hexen-3-one, tra s-4-phenyl-3-buten-2-one, 2-cyclohexanone, carvone) were used (Fig. 3) [30],...

Another approach to secondary amines has been reported (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 125 16178, 2003) by Masakafsu Shibasaki of the University of Tokyo. Addition of methoxyamine to a chalcone 7 (alkyl enones work in slightly lower ) gives the amine 8. The amine 8 can be reduced with high stereocontrol to the amino alcohol 9. K-Selectride gives the complementary diastereomer. 

Aziridinyl ketones can be synthesized from unsaturated carbonyls using a series of other methods. For example, azabicyclo[4.1.0]heptanone 27 was obtained from cyclohexenone 25 in its reaction with TV-bromotoluenesulfona-mide sodium salt 33 [49] (Scheme 1.10). The reaction of chalcone with N-chlorotoluenesulfonamide in the presence of silver nitrite is described in [50]. Trans-Aziridinyl ketone 18 was synthesized by reacting chalcone 22 with N,N-diamino-l,4-diazoniabicyclo[2.2.2.]octane dinitrate 34 and sodium hydride in 2-propanol [30, 51]. Aziridinyl ketones can be obtained in the reaction of a -unsaturated ketones with A,A-dichlorosulfonamines [52] and with amines in the presence of lead tetraacetate and trifluoroacetic acid [53] or in the presence of triethylammonium acetate under electrochemical reaction conditions [54]. 

Trisubstituted six-member carbocycles were also prepared. Condensation of LI with commercial acetoacetanUides 9.14a-f produced, by one-pot Michael addition and Robinson annulation, the cyclohexenone library L4 (7680 members. Fig. 9.11). Noncommercial acetoacetamides Mi, prepared by condensation of diketene 9.15 with 40 primary and secondary amines (structures not shown in the paper), were used as monomers and condensed with a 320-member LI subset to give the expanded cyclohexenone library L5 (12,800 members). Difficulties in preparing extremely large discrete libraries, even using fuUy automated robotic workstations, and the need to diversify the screening set obliged the authors to limit the number of monomers and chalcones for any specific library/scaffold (see also LIO below). 

Chalcones add to cyclopentanone in the presence of a secondary amine to yield 1,5-diketones which react with hydroxylamine to give the 2,4-diaryl-6,7-dihydro-5//-l-pyrindines (104) and (105).77a,b Similarly,... 

Finally, in analogy to the chalcone formation by CIR, the use of Ai-tosyl propargyl amines 20 leads to the formation of A/ -tosyl enimines 21 in moderate to excellent yields (Scheme 12) [85]. 

The mild reaction conditions (relatively weak amine bases, short reaction times) of the CIR of (hetero)aryl halides and l-(hetero)aryl propargyl alcohols opens a modular entry to chalcones, which are as Michael acceptors suitable starting points for consecutive multicomponent syntheses of heterocycles in a one-pot fashion [28, 86]. Both catalytic generations of ynones and enones have set stages for diversity-oriented multicomponent syntheses of heterocycles in a consecutive one-pot fashion. 

The addition of N2O3 to a double bond C=C was given in Vol. 1, p. 96, Recently Hauff, Traillon and Perrot [92] described the addition of nitrous anhydride to a, 0-unsaturated ketones of the chalcone type to yield pseudonitro-sites, which were reduced with U A1 H4 to a number of amines. 

Michael reactions. The addition of amines to chalcones can be accomplished in aqueous suspensions of the reactants in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium halides, i.e., organic solvents are not required. 

Very efficient Michael addition reactions of amines, thiophenoi and acetylacetate to chalcone in a water suspension medium have been developed as completely organic solvent-free reactions. 

As a typical example of Michael addition of an amine to chalcone in a water suspension medium, a suspension of powdered chalcone (70a) in a small amount of water containing mBuNH2 (71e) and the surfactant hexadecyltrimethylammo-nium bromide (72) was stirred at room temperature for 4 h. The reaction product was filtered and air dried to give the Michael addition product 73e as a colorless powder in 98% yield. The filtrate containing 72 can be used again [34]. By the same procedure, Michael addition reactions of the various amines 71a-q to 70a were carried out and pure amineadducts were obtained in good yields (Table 15-19) [34], The solubility of the amines in water is not related to the efficiency of the reaction. Amines (71h-k) which are poorly soluble in water reacted with 70a in the water suspension as effectively as the water-soluble amines (Table 15-19). 

P, P] Although the stereochemistry of the process was not fully elucidated, Risaliti and co-workers examined the addition of the enamine derived from morpholine and cyclohexanone to cis- and trans-chalcone (23). In general, this process leads initially to dihydropyrans and the same product is obtained from either isomer of chalcone. Furthermore, ci s-chalcone is converted to the trans isomer under the reaction conditions, even though such cis-trans isomerization does not occur in the presence of a tertiary amine alone. Thus, the initial conjugate addition of the enamine to form the dipolar intermediate appears to be freely reversible under the reaction conditions.

Asymmetric Michael addition. Michael addition of nitromethane to chalcone (equation I) in the presence of a chiral amine (quinine, N-methylephedrine) proceeds in methanol (but not in aprotic solvents) in 60-807) yield, but the optical yield at best is 17>. However, if these amines are converted into aminium fluorides, the addition takes place in aprotic solvents (CaHsCHg, CH3CN) in 50-100% yield of more interest, asymmetric inductions of 207, can be obtained. (- )-BenzyIquininium fluoride (1) is particularly effective. The hydroxyl group in these salts is believed to play an important role in the stereochemical outcome of the reaction. Moreover, the fluoride ion is important as a strong base.
