Abstract

Microwave-assisted organic synthesis has been used for the cyclization of a monocyclic oxoamide to the corresponding bicyclic derivative via a Wittig-type coupling by means of phosphite reagents. The parameters influencing the reaction yields under microwave (dielectric heating) and classical conditions (convective heating) have been evaluated.

Notes

Note. A ratio of 1/8/0.20 (in mmol) of oxoamide 2, TEP, and dihydroxybenzene was used in all the experiments reported.

a The reaction temperatures were reached by applying a power of 280 W for CEM monomode and 300 W for MicroSYNTH.

b Yields have been calculated for entries 1, 2, and 6 on pure isolated products. The yields for entries 3–5 and 6–12 were calculated by HPLC analysis by the support of a standard calibration curve. For entries 13–16, no traces of 1 were detected in HPLC analyses.

c The product was fully identified by standard analytical data.

d Monomode CEM-Discover was used as the microwave oven model.

e Multimode MicroSYNTH (Milestone) was used as the microwave oven model.

a µV is millivolts.
