Abstract

A one-pot synthesis of a novel series of chromeno-imidazo-pyridinone derivatives from 3-[(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-oxoprop-1-en-1-yl]chromones and ethane-1,2-diamine at room temperature under catalyst-free conditions has been successfully developed. This approach involves a tandem aza-Michael addition reaction, a chromone-to-chromanone rearrangement, and a heterocyclization sequence, leading to chromeno-imidazo-pyridinone polyheterocycles. The structure and absolute configurations of the new compounds were elucidated by a combination of 1D- and 2D-NMR analyses and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

  • 7 Chromeno-imidazo-pyridinones 2a–e; General Procedure H2N(CH2)2NH2 (10 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of the appropriate chromone 1ae (1 mmol) in THF (20 mL), and the mixture was stirred for 24 h at r.t. The solvent was then removed under vacuum, and acetone (20 mL) was added to precipitate the solid product, which was collected by filtration and washed with acetone (×2) to afford the yellowish solid product. Good-quality single-crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained only for compound 2a.
