‘On-Water’ Multicomponent Reaction for the Diastereoselective Synthesis of Functionalized Tetrahydropyridines and Mechanistic Insight

Abstract

An ecofriendly approach for the synthesis of highly substituted tetrahydropyridines by an ‘on-water’ multicomponent reaction has been demonstrated. The use of water as the reaction medium is essential under the catalytic influence of a surfactant. The use of a variety of anionic, cationic, and non-ionic surfactants in water was examined and the reaction was successfully catalyzed by anionic surfactants sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate (SDOSS) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), with the former being superior. The use of an organic solvent together with a catalytic amount of sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate to form homogeneous conditions afforded inferior yields and highlighted the specific role of water through the creation of microreactors at the water surfactant interface. A mechanistic insight for the five-component reaction leading to the formation of tetrahydropyridines is provided invoking a tandem inter- and intramolecular Mannich reaction pathway.

Key words

tetrahydropyridines - multicomponent reaction - diastereoselective - surfactant - on-water
