Tin-free radical cyclizations for the synthesis of 7-azaoxindoles, 7-azaindolines, tetrahydro[1,8]naphthyridines, and tetrahydro-5H-pyrido[2,3-b] azepin-8-ones

Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) Compounds containing a pyridine nucleus fused to a saturated nitrogen-containing ring, including 7-azaoxindoles, 7-azaindolines, tetrahydro[1,8]naphthyridines, and tetrahydro-5H-pyrido[2,3-b] azepin-8-ones, were prepared in good yield starting from various 2,6-dichloropyridines. The method hinges on a free-radical xanthate-mediated cyclization or intermolecular addition/cyclization sequence for the construction of the new fused rings.
