C. Hulme et al., APPLICATIONS OF N-BOC-DIAMINES FOR THE SOLUTION-PHASE SYNTHESIS OF KETOPIPERAZINE LIBRARIES UTILIZING A UGI DE-BOC/CYCLIZATION (UDC) STRATEGY/, Tetrahedron letters, 39(44), 1998, pp. 8047-8050
This communication reveals a novel application of the 'so-called' conv
ertible isonitrile for the solution phase generation of ketopiperazine
libraries. Use of mono N-BOC diamines in the Ugi multicomponent react
ion (MCR), followed by BOC removal and base treatment (a '3 step, 1-po
t procedure') affords ketopiperazines in good yield. The generality of
this procedure was further explored revealing novel routes to dihydro
quinoxalinones and 1,4-benzodiazepines respectively (C) 1998 Elsevier
