[reaction: see text] A novel three-component annulation reaction involving N-alkylimidazoles, dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, and in situ generated aryl methyl ketenes leading to the synthesis of 6-vinyl-1,3a-diazapentalene derivatives is reported.
[reaction: see text] A facile preparation of 3-aminofuran derivatives via multicomponent reactions of thiazole carbenes, aldehydes, and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) is reported. In this process, the thiazole carbenes, generated in situ from thiazolium salts, reacted with aldehydes and DMAD at -78 to 0 degree C in CH(2)Cl(2) to afford the substituted furans in moderate to good yields. Eight substituted thiazolium salts were employed as carbene precursors in the reaction. Besides aryl aldehydes, alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes, aliphatic aldehydes, and arenedial were also investigated and found to be applicable to this reaction.
[reaction: see text]. An unexpected 1-methylimidazole-catalyzed reaction of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) with in situ generated arylketenes leading to the synthesis of dimethyl 2-arylidenesuccinates under mild conditions is described. A plausible mechanism has been proposed.
