Abstract
The unknown pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepin-8-one ring system has been synthesised starting from the N-Boc-L-proline methyl ester. The totally diastereoselective intramolecular 1,3- dipolar cycloaddition of the azide 9 constitutes the key step of the synthetic sequence.
Keywords: 1,4-benzodiazepin-5-ones, pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepin-5-ones, intramolecular cycloadditions, azides, diastereoselective reactions
