Tandem C-2 functionalization-intramolecular Azide-Alkyne 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition reaction: A convenient route to highly diversified 9H-Benzo[b]pyrrolo[1,2-g][1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-d][1,4]diazepines

Abstract

An efficient diversity-oriented synthetic approach to annulated 9H-benzo[b]pyrrolo[1,2-g][1,2,3]- triazolo[1,5-d][1,4]diazepines has been developed using a Sc(OTf)3-catalyzed two-component tandem C-2 functionalization- intramolecular azide-alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction. The reaction shows high substrate tolerance and provides a library of fused heterocycles that may lead to novel biologically active compounds or drug lead molecules.© 2013 American Chemical Society.
