An uncomplicated, high-yielding synthetic route has been developed to constitute complicated heterocycles, applying domino, click and retro-Diels–Alder (RDA) reaction sequences. Starting from 2-aminocarboxamides, a new set of isoindolo[2,1-a]quinazolinones was synthesized with domino ring closure. A click reaction was performed to create the 1,2,3-triazole heterocyclic ring, followed by an RDA reaction resulting in dihydropyrimido[2,1-a]isoindole-2,6-diones. The absolute configuration, concluded by the norbornene structure that served as a chiral source, remained constant throughout the transformations. The structure of the synthesized compounds was examined by 1H and 13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) methods.
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.
