FIRST CYCLOADDITIOBS OF 2-VIBYLIBDOLES YITE DIHBTEYL 1,2,4,5-TETBAZIBE-3,6DIBLS-ALDER PEACTIOUS WITH IBVEPSB BLECTBOU DEMABD TO UEU DICABBOXYLATB: SUBSTITUTED ABD ABBELATED PYPIDAXIBES Ulf Pindurf and Myung-Eva Kim Institut fiirPharmaxie im Fachbereich Chemie und Pharmaaie der Universitgt, Saarstrasse 21, D-6500 Bainz, Federal Republic of Germany SLMARY: 2-Vinylindole la and its donor-/acceptor-substituted @-derivatives lb-le reactwith dimethyl 1,2,4,5-tetraxine-3,6-dicarboqlate to form new indolyl-1,4-dihydropyridaaines 3a, 7 and annslated pyridazinas3b-d, 5, 6. The reactionsproceedunder stericcontrolwith Ngh locoselectivities. The 2- and 3-vinylindoles are synthetically attractp2s building blocks for the regioand stereocontrolled [blannelationof the indole skeleton 9 . Because of their outstandingxdonor reactivity, 2- z 3-vinylindoles (ERoBo ca. -7 to -8 eV)3 should also participate in [4 + 2)-cycloadditionswith inverse electron demand4-8. We report here the first [4 + 2]cycloadditionsof some 2-vinylindoles1 with dimethyl 1,2,4,5-tetrazine-3,6_dicarboxylate. The Z-vinylindole parent compound la reacts selectively with the tetrazine (1:l mmol, CB2C12, 5 h, -75 'C to RT) to furnish the 1,4-dihydropyridaxine-dicarboxylate 3a. The tetrazine undergoes addition to the sterically less hindered 2-vinyl functional group more rapidly. However, the dimethylated 2-vinylindole lb reacts with the tetrazine (1:l mmol, CH2C12, - 75 to -10 "C) to yield the dihydropyridazinoindole3b exclusively.

In the cases of lc and Id, further transformations of 3 take place during the reactions with the tetrazine.The unstable primary cycloadducts 3c and 3d formed in the reactions of lc (1:l.l mmol, dioxane, 100 OC, 81 h) and Id (1:l.l mmol, CH2C12, -75 OC to RT, 21 h) with the tetraxine can only be characterized as crude products and, in the further course of the 39.27

reaction, undergo an initial oxidative heterolysis at the N/C-4a bondsa to give the intermediates 4c and 4d. When R = CO2Me, a Michael-type addition to give the pyridazino[~]-annelated dihydroquinoline5 occurs and, when R = OMe, the new bensaaepine derivative 6 is formed from 4d. The orientations of the two cyclizations of 4 are plautible in terms of the electrostatic concept and allowed processes according to Baldwin's rules . Like la, the vinylindole le also reacted (1:l.l mmol, CH2C12, 40 'C, 7 h) selectively at the 2-vinyl moiety to yield the indolyldihydropyridasine 7
