Abstract

An efficient strategy was developed for the synthesis of indenopyrrolopyridinone derivatives from 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one, an amine, and 2,2-dihydroxy-1H-indene-1,3(2H)-dione by a one-pot, two-step, four-component process. The one-pot reaction gives various substituted indenopyrrolopyridinones in good yields and uses a solid acid as a recyclable catalyst in water. This procedure has the advantages of inexpensive substrates, a reusable solid-supported catalyst, and a convenient one-pot operation.

Key words

multicomponent reaction - one-pot reaction - hydroxymethylpyranonone - amines - dihydroxyindenedione - indenopyrrolopyridinones

Indenedione 4 (0.5 mmol) was then added and the mixture was heated at 80 °C for another 4 h. The mixture was cooled to r.t. and the solid product was collected by filtration and washed with H₂O. The crude product and solid acid were treated with hot 95% EtOH. The catalyst was removed by filtration, and the pure product 5 was obtained from the mother liquor. 5a,10a-Dihydroxy-3-methyl-2,5-diphenyl-2,5,5a,10a-tetrahydroindeno[2′,1′:4,5]pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridine-1,10-dione (5a) Yellow crystals; yield: 177.0 mg (81%); mp 238–240 °C.
