Ac opper-catalyzed newd omino reaction allowed the facile andd irect construction of the dibenzo-fused azepinone ring leading to an array of novel small molecules.T he co-catalyst, ligand or additive free one-pot method afforded au nique class of functionalized derivatives,o ne of which showed encouraging PDE4 inhibition in vitro and apoptosis in vivo.
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.
