Abstract

An efficient and practical method for the synthesis of 1,4-benzodiazepines is reported. This methodology offers a transition-metal-free tandem process in one pot. This process is applicable to the construction of a wide variety of 1,4-benzodiazepines and other tricyclic systems with high potential biological and pharmacological activities.
