Abstract

:
The synthesis of 1H-benzo[f]isoindole derivatives was achieved by the cascade radical cyclization–cyclization reaction of the active methine substrate having an allyl group and phenyl group as different two radical acceptors. This oxidative transformation proceeded by using iron(III) chloride FeCl3 as a mild oxidant via the intramolecular radical addition to the allyl group followed by the second radical addition to the phenyl group.

Graphical Abstract

1. Introduction

Hexahydro-1H-benzo[f]isoindol-1-one and dihydro-1H-benzo[f]isoindol-1-one are the core structures in some natural products and the biologically active agents (Figure 1) [1,2,3,4,5,6]. Therefore, we felt attracted to the possibility of a new synthetic method based on the oxidative radical cyclization leading to γ-lactams, which was recently developed by our group [7].
The oxidative radical reactions have made great advances in synthetic chemistry mainly by using manganese (III) acetate Mn(OAc)3 and cerium (IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN) [8,9]. However, less is known about the cascade oxidative radical cyclization–cyclization reactions of the active methylenes or methines having two radical acceptors [10,11,12,13,14,15]. Furthermore, these reported transformations are dependent on a toxic strong oxidant such as Mn(OAc)3; thus, the replacement of heavy metal oxidant into the less toxic and mild electron transfer reagents is also a challenging task. We are interested in the cascade radical cyclization–cyclization reaction as a new strategy for constructing the 1H-benzo[f]isoindole structure. In this paper, we report the synthesis of 1H-benzo[f]isoindole derivatives trans-4 and cis-4 by the cascade transformation using iron(III) chloride FeCl3 as a mild and environmentally benign oxidant [16,17,18,19,20].

2. Results

At first, we prepared two substrates 3a [21] and 3b having an allyl group and a phenyl group as two different radical acceptors (Scheme 1). In the presence of N,N-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP), treatment of ethyl benzoylacetate 1 with diallylamine 2 in toluene under reflux conditions afforded the desired methylene substrate 3a in almost quantitative yield. Another methine substrate 3b was obtained in 53% yield by α-methylation of substrate 3a using NaH and MeI.
For the oxidative radical reactions, 2.0 equivalents of FeCl3 were initially employed as a mild oxidant in CH2ClCH2Cl under reflux conditions (Scheme 2). Although treatment of active methylene 3a with FeCl3 did not afford the desired product effectively, the FeCl3-promoted cascade radical cyclization–cyclization reaction of α-methylated methine 3b took place to afford the 1H-benzo[f]isoindole derivatives trans-4 and cis-4 in 47% combined yield and 36:11 trans/cis-selectivity, accompanied with a small amount of the mono-cyclized product trans-5 (19% yield). In marked contrast to FeCl3-promoted transformation, the use of FeBr3 did not lead to the formation of 1H-benzo[f]isoindole derivatives. The mono-cyclized product trans-6 was only obtained in 60% yield with high trans-selectivity. The excellent trans-selectivity of the mono-cyclized products trans-5 and trans-6 would be attributable to the steric effect in an initial radical intermediate. The relative stereochemistry of trans-4 and cis-4 was determined by NOESY experiments [22] and the stereochemistry of trans-5 and trans-6 was assumed on the basis of NOESY experiments and similarly based on our relative reaction [7].

3. Discussion

In order to understand this transformation, the thermodynamic data were obtained by density functional calculation (Figure 2) [22]. These data indicate that the conversion of methine substrate 3b into trans-4 and H2 is exothermic (∆H = −17 kJ/mol at 298.15 K). Totally, the change in Gibbs energy suggests that the transformation of 3b into trans-4 is favorable to proceed in view of thermodynamics (∆G < 0 kJ/mol at 298.15 K). Furthermore, the calculation data show that cis-4 is more stable than trans-4.
This FeCl3-promoted transformation starts from the single electron-transfer (SET) in the enolate-Fe(III) complex A to afford Radical B (Figure 3). The product trans-4 would be formed via the 5-exo-trig cyclization of Radical B, the second cyclization of Radical C onto phenyl group, and the subsequent oxidation of Radical D with FeCl3 affording the cation intermediate E. It should be noted that the trans/cis-selectivity of 4 is determined by the stereoselectivity of the first cyclization of Radical B. We presume that the reversibility in cyclization of the resonance-stabilized Radical B affording the unstable primary Radical C leads to the erosion of trans/cis-selectivity, because 1H-benzo[f]isoindole derivative trans-4 is unstable as compared with cis-4 (Figure 2).
In the case of FeBr3-promoted transformation, the reversibility in cyclization of Radical B would be suppressed by the rapid trapping of Radical B with FeBr3 leading to the predominant formation of the mono-cyclized product trans-6. We think that high trans-selectivity in FeBr3-promoted mono-cyclization supports this hypothesis. Moreover, this result indicates that the second cyclization is not a Friedel–Crafts reaction. Consequently, the use of FeCl3 as an oxidant is essential for the second radical cyclization of Radical B.
In conclusion, we have developed the FeCl3-promoted oxidative radical cyclization–cyclization reaction for constructing the 1H-benzo[f]isoindole structure.

The stirred reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 15 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and then extracted with AcOEt. The organic phase was dried over Na2SO4 and then concentrated at reduced pressure. The purification of the residue by flash silica gel column chromatography (AcOEt/hexanes = 1:10 to 1:4) afforded the product 3a [21] (4.87 g, quant.).
