Abstract

A method of synthesis of pyrrolo [1, 2-a][1, 4] benzodiazepines is described. This method is based on the recyclization of N-(furfuryl) anthranilamides under treatment with an aq. HCl/AcOH system and allows one to form both diazepine and pyrrole rings in one step. The reaction proceeds via furan ring opening into a diketone moiety followed by consecutive interaction of the NH2-group with both carbonyl functions. The process is not efficient in ...
