A novel and unique approach for the construction of polysubstituted pyrimido [4,5-b]indoles from 2-(indol-3-yl)naphthoquinones and benzamidines is described. Our strategy, promoted by an inorganic base, involves the ring opening and recyclization of naphthoquinone and produces three nitrogen heterocyclic rings via multiple C−N bond formations in one pot under transition-metal-free conditions.P yrimido[4,5-b]indoles represent a privileged type of nitrogen-containing heterocycles, which are widespread in a diverse range of natural products and pharmaceutically active molecules. 1,2 Pyrimido[4,5-b]indole derivatives have extensive biological activities, including antiinflammatory, antibacterial, antimalarial, antihypertensive, anticancer, and antiasthmatic activities. 3,4 Pyrimidoindoles can also be used as cytotoxic inhibitors and kinase inhibitors. 5 Additionally, some pyrimido [4,5-b]indole derivatives have proven to be agonists of human hematopoietic stem cell self-renewal. 6 Several representative bioactive molecules containing a pyrimidoindole skeleton are shown in Figure 1.
