An straightforward entry to new pyrazolo-fused dibenzo[l,4|diazepines

摘要

A series of novel pyrazolodibenzo[l,4]diazepines has been synthesized with good overall yields. The diarylpyrazole intermediates, with structure similarity to biologically relevant compounds such as currently marketed drugs like rimonabant or celecoxib, were prepared by a tandem sequence amine-exchange/heterocyclization starting from readily available enaminones and arylhydrazines. The key step of this efficient methodology was C_aryl-N bond construction, accomplished by a palladium-catalyzed intramolecular N-arylation reaction, which was conducted in both homogeneous and polymer-supported versions. Reaction scope of such protocols and recycling of the heterogeneous catalyst were also examined.
