A domino annulation approach to 3,4-diacylpyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazines: decoration of pyrazine units
Literature Information
Anuradha Dagar, Yohan Seo, Ikyon Kim
A new one-pot, sequential three-component access to 3,4-diacylpyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine was achieved from the reaction of an α-haloketone, azide, and N-substituted pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde under mild reaction conditions, through which a polysubstitution pattern on the pyrazine moiety of the scaffold was realized. The formation of multiple bonds (one C–C and two C–N) was enabled by this domino process involving the in situ generation of α-iminoketones, intermolecular Mannich reaction, intramolecular imine formation, and aromatization. Construction of the relevant 3,4-diacylpyrazino[1,2-a]indole and further expansion of this chemical space via synthetic elaboration of the resulting products were demonstrated as well. Preliminary biological screening of the synthesized derivatives against oral adenosquamous carcinoma cells (CAL-27) and triple negative human breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231) led us to identify a potent hit compound (7o) having ∼3 times stronger in vitro anticancer activity than that of the anticancer agent, capecitabine.

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry (OBC) publishes original and high impact research and reviews in organic chemistry. We welcome research that shows new or significantly improved protocols or methodologies in total synthesis, synthetic methodology or physical and theoretical organic chemistry as well as research that shows a significant advance in the organic chemistry or molecular design aspects of chemical biology, catalysis, supramolecular and macromolecular chemistry, theoretical chemistry, mechanism-oriented physical organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry or natural products. Articles published in the journal should report new work which makes a highly-significant impact in the field. Routine and incremental work is generally not suitable for publication in the journal. More details about key areas of our scope are below. In all cases authors should include in their article clear rationale for why their research has been carried out.
