Abstract
An intramolecular Diels–Alder mediated reaction of (2E)-3-(4-chloro-2-methylene-2H-chromen-3-yl)-1-phenyl-2-propen-1-one, which was obtained in situ from the reaction of 4-chloro-2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carbaldehyde and Wittig reagent, with furfurylamine leads to fused epoxychromeno[4,3-c]isoquinolines. Reaction performed in one-pot condition and only one diastereomer was obtained. In this method, the key step for the formation of the final product is IMDA reaction.
Graphic abstract
A series of fused epoxychromeno[4,3-c]isoquinoline compounds containing chromene skeleton have been synthesized through the cyclization strategy, from 4-chloro-2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carbaldehyde, Wittig reagent, and furfurylamine. The reactions were carried out under reflux condition in DCM/toluene.
