An efficient, expeditious, and diastereoselective one-pot pseudo-five-component reaction for the synthesis of new bis-Betti bases under catalyst-free conditions
摘要
A novel, diastereoselective, one-pot synthesis of new bis-Betti bases via condensation of dihydroxynaphthalene, two equivalents of aryl aldehydes, and two equivalents of 3-amino-5-methylisoxazole is reported. Conversion into the adducts was almost quantitative without the use of solvent or catalyst. The reaction conditions are very simple and enable easy isolation of the product.
