Abstract:
A solution-phase parallel synthesis of pharmaceutically important azaspiro[4.5]trienones has been developed by performing tandem Ugi four-component condensation (U4CC), involving substituted p-anisidines, aldehydes, 3-alkyl/aryl-propiolic acids, and isocyanides, and iodine-mediated ipso-iodocyclization in one-pot. This highly atom economical process produced functionalized azaspiro[4.5]trienones in good to excellent overall yields and products were easily isolated by precipitation followed by crystallization. These vinyl-iodide bearing azaspiro[4.5]trienones were utilized for further modifications through Suzuki coupling and deiodination reaction to demonstrate the suitability of these products for various palladium catalyzed modifications. The present method provides an easy access to highly functionalized azaspiro[4.5]trienones that can be useful in drug discovery research.

Preparation of 1° Amines: Azide Synthesis
Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...
