Abstract

Dihydropyrazino-quinazolinedione chemotypes are complex and structurally challenging structures of biological interest, being found in the marine alkaloids such as brevianamide M-N and fumiquinazolines A-C. Herein we report the synthesis of this tricyclic system in three synthetic operations by means of an Ugi multi-component reaction (MCR) followed by a tandem N-acyliminium ion cyclization-intramolecular nucleophilic addition reaction sequence. Additional structural diversification for further library enrichment was also accomplished via sequential N-alkylation and N-acylation/sulfonation.
