A multicomponent reaction of 1,3-dicarbonyls with 1,2-diamines and aromatic aldehydes is described for the direct stereoselective synthesis of 1,4-diazepane derivatives. Various reaction conditions were tested, including an efficient, user-friendly solvent- and catalyst-free procedure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
