Direct preparation of unsymmetrical difunctionalized cyclen derivatives by an Ugi multicomponent reaction

Org Lett. 2009 Jan 15;11(2):417-20. doi: 10.1021/ol802674r.

Abstract

A new and efficient synthetic protocol for the preparation of unsymmetrical difunctionalized cyclen and its close derivatives using a modified Ugi reaction (N-split Ugi) is described. The scope of this methodology is further extended by the successful use of various isocyanides, highly functionalized carboxylic acids, and aldehydes.
