Abstract
Abstract An intermolecular Ugi reaction of 2-(1-(aminomethyl)cyclohexyl)acetic acid (gabapentin) with glyoxal and cyclohexyl isocyanide or aromatic aldehyde and tertbutyl isocyanide under mild conditions in ethanol have been developed to produce two novel class of N -cyclohexyl-3-(aryl)-3-oxo-2-(3-oxo-2-azaspiro[4.5]decan-2-yl)propanamideins and N -( tert -butyl)-2-(3-oxo-2-azaspiro[4.5]decan-2-yl)-2-arylacetamide derivatives in good to excellent yields. This presents the first report for the intermolecular Ugi three component reaction of gabapentin, glyoxal, and an isocyanide. Also according to the theoretical studies the electron-donating groups increase the strength of intramolecular hydrogen bond and electron-withdrawing groups decrease the strength of intramolecular hydrogen bond.
