Connon, Stephen J.; Hegarty, Anthony F. published the artcile< Substituted 3,4-pyridynes: clean cycloadditions>, Category: pyridine-derivatives, the main research area is alkoxypyridine regioselective lithiation elimination; pyridyne regioselective preparation Diels Alder furan; epoxydihydroisoquinoline preparation; isoquinoline epoxydihydro preparation.
The stabilization of 3,4-pyridyne by an alkoxy group adjacent to the ring nitrogen is reported. The regioselective lithiation of 2-ethoxy-, 2-methoxy-, 2-isopropoxy- and 6-isopropoxy-, -3-chloropyridines with tert-butyllithium at low temperatures, followed by elimination of lithium chloride affords 2- and 6-alkoxy-3,4-pyridynes. These species are trapped in situ with furan in a Diels-Alder reaction to give epoxydihydroisoquinolines, e.g. I, in 66-89% yield, and do not give products typical of polymerization or nucleophilic addition to the 3,4-pyridyne intermediates. As a comparison treatment of 3-chloropyridine with furan and LDA gives only 19% of adduct I. The novel use of the isopropoxy group in these systems enhanced regioselectivity by sterically inhibiting α-lithiation by tert-butyllithium.
