Abstract
The interaction between 1-furyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines and unsaturated acids derivatives (acryloyl, methacryloyl, and crotonoyl chloride, maleic and citraconic anhydride) was studied. It was shown that the reaction proceeds via amide formation and subsequent intramolecular Diels–Alder reaction of the furan (IMDAF). The [4+2] cycloaddition proceeded under mild reaction conditions (25–80 °C) and afforded only the exo-adduct in a high yield. With this method, a new approach to the isoindolo[1,2- a]isoquinoline system, the basic structural element of alkaloids Jamtine, Hirsutine, and Nuevamine, is proposed.
