Abstract
The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of ethyl 5-aryl-2-(2-methoxy-2-oxoethylidene)-7-methyl-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-5H-[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a] pyrimidine-6-carboxylate and azomethine ylide, which was generated in situ by the reaction of 11H-indeno[1,2-b]quinoxalin-11-one and L-proline, afforded novel 6″ethyl 1′-methyl 5″aryl-7″methyl-3″oxo-5’,6’,7’,7a′-tetrahydro-1'H,3″H,5″H-dispiro[indeno[1,2-b]quinoxaline-11, 3 ‘-pyrrolizine-2’,2″-[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine-1’,6″-dicarboxylates in good yields. The structures of all the products were characterised thoroughly by NMR, IR and HRMS together with X-ray crystallographic analysis.
