Pyrrole isoquinolines

Whenever an appropriate electrophile is present in the reaction mixture along with an alkyne, the W-alkylated product reacts with the electrophile, producing an intermediate prone for intramolecular nucleophilic cyclization to the quinolinium or isoquinolinium salt as this is demonstrated in the synthesis of pyrrole-isoquinolines through die formation of mesoanionic intermediates. 

Crude oils contain nitrogen compounds in the form of basic substances such as quinoline, isoquinoline, and pyridine, or neutral materials such as pyrrole, indole, and carbazole. 

Besides being useful precursors to pyrroles pyridine-2-ones -4-ones, -4-thiones. and -4-imines 4-alkylidene-dihydropyridines thiophenes 1,2,4-triazoles thiapyrane-2-thiones, isoquinoline-3-ones isoben-zothiophenes and 4-mercaptoimidazolium hydroxide inner salts, mesoionic thiazoles are potentially useful in the construction of molecules with herbicidic (39). central nerve stimulating, and antiinflammatory properties (40,41). Application in dye synthesis has likewise been reported (42).

Just as there are heterocyclic analogs of benzene, there are also many heterocyclic analogs of naphthalene. Among the most common are quinoline, iso-quinoline, indole, and purine. Quinoline, isoquinoline, and purine all contain pyridine-like nitrogens that are part of a double bond and contribute one electron to the aromatic it system. Indole and purine both contain pyrrole-like nitrogens that contribute two - r electrons. 

The chemistry of these polycyclic heterocycles is just what you miglu expect from a knowledge of the simpler heterocycles pyridine and pyrrole Quinoline and isoquinoline both have basic, pyridine-like nitrogen atoms, anc both undergo electrophilic substitutions, although less easily than benzene Reaction occurs on the benzene ring rather than on the pyridine ring, and r mixture of substitution products is obtained. 

Heterocyclic amines are compounds that contain one or more nitrogen atoms as part of a ring. Saturated heterocyclic amines usually have the same chemistry as their open-chain analogs, but unsaturated heterocycles such as pyrrole, imidazole, pyridine, and pyrimidine are aromatic. All four are unusually stable, and all undergo aromatic substitution on reaction with electrophiles. Pyrrole is nonbasic because its nitrogen lone-pair electrons are part of the aromatic it system. Fused-ring heterocycles such as quinoline, isoquinoline, indole, and purine are also commonly found in biological molecules.

Mono- and dilithio derivatives of p-tosylmethyl isocyanide 297a were shown to display interesting reactions. Reaction of the monoanion with unsaturated esters was shown to give pyrrole derivatives . Dianion 297b was found to add to the carbon-nitrogen double bonds of isoquinoline, quinoline and quinoxaline affording compounds 298, 299 and 300, respectively. In the reactions with pyridine iV-oxide and pyridazine iV-oxide, unstable open-chain products 301 and 302 were obtained .

A recent development is the transfer hydrogenation of heterocyclic systems such as pyrrole, pyridinium and quinoline systems. Whilst at present the yields and enantioselectivities are modest, further development may improve this situation. For example, 1-methyl-isoquinoline has been reduced to the tetrahydro species and 1-picoline has been reduced to 1-methylpiperidine [86]. Interestingly, these reductions involve alkene as well as imine reduction. 

Indole is the fusion of a benzene ring with a pyrrole. Like quinoline and isoquinoline, indole behaves as an aromatic compound. However, unlike quinoline and isoquinoline, where the reactivity was effectively part benzene and part pyridine, the reactivity in indole is modified by each component of the fusion. The closest similarity is between the chemistry of pyrroles and indoles.

The definition of aromaticity conceived by Hiickel strictly applies to monocyclic ring systems, but indole, constructed from the fusion of benzene and pyrrole, behaves as an aromatic compound, like quinoline and isoquinoline. The ring fusion, however, affects the properties of both components. This is reflected in the valence bond description of indole, shown in Scheme 7.1, where one canonical representation shows electron density shared between N-1 and C-3 in the pyrrole unit (implying enamine character). Note that although other canonical forms can be drawn, where the lone-pair electrons are delocalized into the benzenoid ring, their energy content is relatively high and they are of limited importance. 

The cycloaddition reactions of isoquinolinium species produce fused isoquinoline products. The Af-ylide of 53, formed with base addition, couples with alkenes <99S51> or imines <99T7279> to afford tricyclic products, such as 54. Pyrrole-fused isoquinolines result from the reaction between mUnchnone imine intermediates and a,yff-ethylenic esters <99EJOC297>. N-Arylimides undergo 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with strained frani-cyclooctenes, as opposed to common cycloalkenes, to tdford the pyrazolidine-fused ring system <99H(50)353>. 

Important aromatic heterocycles that contain a single hetero-atom include pyridine, quinoline, isoquinoline, pyrrole, thiophene, furan and indole.
