Base-Mediated [3 + 4]-Cycloaddition of Anthranils with Azaoxyallyl Cations: A New Approach to Multisubstituted Benzodiazepines

Org Lett. 2019 Aug 16;21(16):6245-6248. doi: 10.1021/acs.orglett.9b02118. Epub 2019 Aug 1.

Abstract

A new [3 + 4] cycloaddition of azaoxyallyl cations and anthranils has been achieved for rapid access to multisubstituted benzodiazepine derivatives. A variety of anthranils and α-halo hydroxamates were both effective substrates with simple operations under transition-metal-free conditions. The intriguing features of this method include its mild nature of the reaction conditions, high efficiency, broad substrate scope, and wide functional group compatibility.
