Abstract

A two-step solution phase synthesis employing a double UDC (Ugi/Deprotect/Cyclize) strategy has been utilized to obtain fused 6,7,6,6-quinoxalinone-benzodiazepines and 6,7,7,6-bis-benzodiazepines. Optimization of the methodology to produce these tetracyclic scaffolds was enabled by microwave irradiation, incorporation of trifluoroethanol as solvent, and the use of the convertible isocyanide, 4-tert-butyl cyclohexen-1-yl isocyanide.
