A synthetic novel strategy involving a pseudo three component reaction to obtain 1,6-dihydroazaazulenes derivates via cyclization of pyrrolyl-enones by a novel pseudo three-component reaction was developed. This reaction is carried out under mild conditions from simple starting materials and catalyzed with ionic liquid. Notably, 3 new C-C bonds are formed in the one-pot process. The target molecules are of interest in medicinal chemistry as they contain a privileged scaffold and are considered indole homologues.
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.
