An efficient synthesis of pyrazolo [1,4]‐oxazepines and [1,4]‐thiazepines bearing a variety of alkyl and aryl groups with a chiral center has been developed. The synthesis started with readily available 5‐chloro‐pyrazole‐4‐carbaldehyde and chiral amino alcohols. The key step involves intramolecular imine formation. These classes of compounds are potentially useful as templates for drug discovery.
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.
