โฆ Synopsis
Neozeylanicine I Alkaloid I 2,7-Naphthyridine I Isoquinolines 1 Electrocyclic reactions
The 2,?-naphthyridine alkaloid neozeylanicine (6) was prepared starting from 3-bromo-4-picoline (1) by side-chain methoxycarbonylation, Pd-catalyzed ring acetylation and onepot ring anellation in 32% overall yield. Condensation of the intermediate pyridyl enol ether 3 with dimethylformamide diethyl acetal to the enamine ? was followed by spontaneous electrocyclization to give the isoquinoline 8. On treatment with acid or base 3 was cyclized to the 6(2H)-isoquinolinone 10.
