A novel, efficient, and rapid synthesis of the 6-aminoperhydro-1,4-diazepine scaffold is reported. It was promoted by microwave or sequential ultrasound/microwave irradiation under solvent-free conditions or in solution. Protected ethylenediamine derivatives and N-Boc-serinol dimesylate underwent rapid cyclization to give 6-aminoperhydro-1,4-diazepine derivatives in excellent yields and with high selectivity, whereas the same reaction failed or gave negligible yields under conventional heating. Cesium or potassium ions catalyzed the ring closure by coordinating the sulfonamide groups. All relevant work reported to date in the literature mostly concern about the syntheses of either 1H-tetrahydro-1,4-diazepine-2,5-dione or substituted 1,4-benzodiazepines, while the few published procedures for the preparation of 6-aminoperhydro-1,4-diazepines involved several steps, required long reaction times and afforded low yields. By the present method, access to 6-aminoperhydro-1,4-diazepines becomes much easier and faster.
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.
