he tetrahydroimidazopyrimidine ring system is found in many naturally occurring products that have attracted attention due to the broad scope of their biological activities.1,2Di fferent class of tetrahydroimidazopyrimidine compounds have shown antidepressant 2a,b and antihypertonia 2c activities that have been put to pharmaceutical us.However,synthes of tetrahydroimidazopyrimidine derivatives are not very well documented in the literature.2b,3The traditional methods for their synthesis often require many synthetic manipulations and puri fications,which result in low overall yields.Thus the devel-opment of novel,conci methodologies that allow the rapid construction of the tetrahydroimidazopyrimidine skeletons,preferably in a single operation,is highly desired.
Organocatalytic domino reactions 4À6allow the quential formation of veral new bonds and chiral centers in just one operation.They have been proven to be powerful tools for the e fficient and stereolective synthesis of complex molecules 7that are di fficult to access by traditional methods.The aza-Michael addition 8participated domino reaction provides a simple and direct way f
or the synthesis of nitrogen-containing heterocycles.For example,the asymmetric synthes of 1,2-dihydroquin-olines,9pyrrolidines,10tetrahydro-1,2-oxazines,11and iso-indolines 12have been realized.Herein,we report the first asymmetric synthesis of enantioenriched tetrahydroimidazopyr-imidine derivatives through an organocatalytic domino strategy using R ,β-unsaturated aldehydes and N -arylidene-1H -imidazol-2-amines as starting materials (Scheme 1).
The reactions of 2-carbonyl-substituted indoles 13and pyrroles 14with enals have been realized for the synthes of pyrrolidine-fud heterocycles.However,the asymmetric synth-esis of six-membered ring-fud heterocycles,such as biologically interesting tetrahydroimidazopyrimidines,through aza-Michael reaction of nitrogen heterocycles has not been reported.We would like to focus our rearch on this challenging task.Unlike tetrazole,triazole,and other nitrogen heterocycles,15the N ÀH
group of imidazole is not acidic enough to participate in N-alkyaltion reactions.The introduction of electron-withdrawing groups,such as carbonyl or cyano,can reduce the p K a value of this N ÀH group,making it possible for N-alkylation reactions 13,14,15b to occur.The iminic group is a weak electron-withdrawing group and enables many further transformations.We envisaged that the N -arylidene-1H -imidazol-2-amines (1)and the R ,β-unsaturated aldehydes (2)might be suitable substra
tes for the domino aza-Michael ÀMannich reaction and that they would generate the highly substituted tetrahydroimidazopyrimidine derivatives (3).To test our hypothesis,the readily available L -proline-derived condary amines (I ÀIV ),which are capable of both iminium 16and enamine 17catalysis,were explored as catalysts for this domino reaction.
The reaction of N -benzylidene-1H -imidazol-2-amine (1a )and cinnamaldehyde (2a )was lected as a model reaction.We first studied catalysis of the domino reaction with diphenyl prolinol silyl ether (I )in dichloromethane.The reaction pro-ceeded with high stereolectivity (97%ee,>20:1dr)but in low yield (30%,Table 1,entry 1).There was no signi ficant improve-ment in yield when using a variety of di fferent solvents,most

Received:June 22,2011ABSTRACT:Highly substituted tetrahydroimidazopyrimidine derivatives with three chiral centers have been synthesized for the first time using an organocatalytic asymmetric domino aza-Michael ÀMannich reaction of R ,β-unsaturated aldehydes and N -arylidene-1H -imidazol-2-amines.This e fficient approach fur-nishes the products in good yields (42À87%)with excellent stereolectivities (>20:1dr,up to >99%
ee).
likely due to the poor solubility of 1a in the solvents.However,high stereolectivities were retained
(Table 1,entries 2À5).When methanol was ud as solvent,the starting material 1a was completely consumed in just 6h to provide the product 3a in 55%yield and 96%ee (Table 1,entry 6).The arylaldehyde and 2-aminoimidazole derived from the decomposition of 1a also were detected.Tho results suggested that 1a was more active in methanol and that the u of a mixture of dichloromethane and methanol might improve the e fficiency of the reaction.Experi-ments indicated that this was the ca.After extensive screening,the best results in terms of yield (73%)and enantiolectivity (99%)were obtained using a 9:1ratio of dichloromethane and methanol (Table 1,entry 7).The yield was improved to 80%by the addition of benzoic acid while retaining high enantiolec-tivity (>99%ee,Table 1,entry 9).In contrast,the addition of sodium acetate had almost no in fluence on the reaction (Table 1,entry 11).Other condary amine catalysts also were examined as catalysts:the reaction proceeded in 42%yield and 99%ee when catalyst II (Table 1,entry 12)was ud,and there were no domino reaction product detected in 24h when catalysts III and IV were employed (Table 1,entries 13and 14).
客厅沙发尺寸With the optimal reaction conditions in hand,the substrate scope of this domino aza-Michael ÀMannich reaction was ex-plored,and the results are summarized in Table 2.Various substituted aromatic enals were examined.Both electron-with-drawing and electron-donating groups on the aromatic ring were
tolerated,yielding the expected products in moderate to high yields (54À80%)and excellent stereolectivities (>97%ee,>20:1dr,Table 2,entries 1À12).The reaction of 2-furyl and 2-thiophene enal led to the formation of 3m and 3n in 49and 42%yields,respectively,both in 99%ee (Table 2,entries 13and 14).The electronic nature of the substituent on the aromatic ring of 1had little in fluence on the reaction.Extensions of this strategy to u the less reactive aliphatic enals were unsuccessful;no reaction occurred when crotonaldehyde was ud.
The absolute con figuration of the three new chiral centers of 3n was assigned as 5S ,6S ,and 7R by X-ray crystallographic analysis of 4n (the alcohol corresponding to 3n ,Figure 1).On the basis of this obrvation,a plausible catalytic cycle for the reaction is propod in Scheme 2.The reaction starts with the iminium activation of 2by I ,followed by aza-Michael addition of 1to the iminium ion to give intermediate A .The enamine of A undergoes an intramolecular Mannich reaction to give B .The catalyst is regenerated for the next catalytic cycle through hydrolysis of B :B then hydrolyzes to give tetrahydroimidazo-pyrimidine 3.
In summary,we have developed a novel organocatalytic domino aza-Michael ÀMannich reaction of N -arylidene-1H -imi-dazol-2-amines and R ,β-unsaturated aldehydes for u in the synthesis of highly substituted tetrahydroimidazopyrimidine
