New benzotriazole and benzimidazole scaffolds from Ugi-Smiles couplings of isocyanides

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

When allylamine is used as the amino input in Ugi-Smiles couplings of o-nitrophenols, the resulting adducts can be deallylated by a palladiumcatalyzed process leading to a formal Ugi-Smiles coupling with ammonia. This new sequence, combined with hydrogenolysis of the nitro group, offers an interesting multicomponent entry to benzotriazole and benzimidazole scaffolds.
