Abstract

A new method is elaborated for the synthesis of benzo- and thieno[2,3-b]pyrido-annelated pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]diazepine skeleton, as a result of recyclization of furfuryl amides of the corresponding aromatic and heteroaromatic acids with an amino group in the ortho position. A feature of the method is a simultaneous formation of pyrrole and diazepine rings in the reaction.

General Procedure for the Preparation of Compounds 2a,b To a stirred solution of 5-methylfurfurylamine (12 mmol) in anhyd benzene (30 mL) a solution of 2-nitrobenzoyl or 2-nitroveratroyl chloride (10 mmol) in benzene (30 mL) was added dropwise over 30 min. The reaction mixture was agitated at r.t. for an additional 1 h and then cold sat. aq Na2CO3 (50 mL) was added. The organic layer was separated, washed with H2O, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was crystallized from PE-CH2Cl2.
