In the title cyclo-adduct, C(20)H(18)N(4)O(5), the rings of the pyrrolizine system adopt envelope conformations. A centrosymmetric dimer is formed via inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the indolinone rings.

A facile synthesis of the side chain of loteprednol etabonate, namely, chloromethyl-17α-[(ethoxycarbonyl))oxy]-11β-hydro of loteprednol etabonate, viz., chloromethyl-17α-[(ethoxycarbonyl))oxy]-11xy-3-oxoandrosta-1,4-diene-17β-carboxylate--an ocular soft corticosteroid, has been described starting from a 20-oxopregnane, namely, 3β-acetoxy-pregn-5(6),16(17)-diene-20-one (16-dehydropregnenolone ac...

N-Substituted 2-acetylamino-2-ethoxycarbonyl-3-(2-furyl)propanamides (8) were synthesized through the reaction of amines (13) with 2-acetylamino-2-ethoxycarbonyl-3-(2-furyl)propanoic acid (3b), which was prepared via condensation of 2-(bromomethyl)furan (10b) with diethyl acetamidomalonate, followed by partial hydrolysis of the resultant diethyl ester (3a) in the presence of barium hydroxide. H...

There are two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(26)H(24)ClNO(3). The dihedral angles between the naphthalene ring system and the chloro-phenyl substituent are 58.76 (9) and 51.59 (8)° in the two mol-ecules. In the pyrrolizine ring system, both the pyrrolidine rings adopt envelope conformations and the dihydro-pyran rings adopt half-chair conformations. In the pyrrolizin...

The Zumach-Weiss-Kühle (ZWK) reaction provides 1,2,4-dithiazolidine-3,5-diones [dithiasuccinoyl (Dts)-amines] by the rapid reaction of O-ethyl thiocarbamates plus (chlorocarbonyl)sulfenyl chloride, with ethyl chloride and hydrogen chloride being formed as coproducts, and carbamoyl chlorides or isocyanates generated as yield-diminishing byproducts. However, when the ZWK reaction is applied with ...

The catalytic enantioselective synthesis of a range of cis-pyrrolizine carboxylate derivatives with outstanding stereocontrol (14 examples, >95 : 5 dr, >98 : 2 er) through an isothiourea-catalyzed intramolecular Michael addition-lactonisation and ring-opening approach from the corresponding enone acid is reported. An optimised and straightforward three-step synthetic route to the enone acid sta...

In the title compound, C23H23NO8, the dihedral angle between the five- and six-membered rings of the indene-dione moiety is 3.09 (13)°. The mean plane of the five-membered ring (which has a flat envelope conformation with the spiro C atom as the flap) is inclined to the mean plane of the central five-membered ring of the pyrrolizine unit by 76.48 (12)°. This central ring has a twist conformatio...

3-Carbamoylmethyl-Indole-1-Carboxylic Acid Ethyl Ester (an ethoxycarbonyl derivative of indole-3-acetamide) is obtained by Friedel–Crafts type cyclocondensation γ-functionalized acetoacetamide in neat polyphosphoric acid.

A new approach for the synthesis of 4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid derivatives is described. This methodology involves the C-acylation of the anions of appropriate beta-keto esters with novel N-hydroxysuccinimide esters of anthranilic acids. The intermediate C-acylation products 3 are spontaneously cyclized to afford 3-ethoxycarbonyl-4-oxoquinoline derivatives 4. The introduction of a variety...

The 4-chloro-phenyl residue in the title compound, C(20)H(16)ClNO, is oriented at a dihedral angle of 53.6 (3)° towards the phenyl ring and 42.0 (9)° towards the pyrrole ring of the pyrrolizine template. The phenyl ring is oriented at a dihedral angle of 45.4 (4)° towards the pyrrole ring.
