Abstract
A novel approach to 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1,4-benzodiazepines starting from N-Boc-protected 2-aminobenzyl alcohols and N-nosyl-protected 2-aminoacetaldehyde dimethyl acetal is presented here. After connection of both building blocks under Mitsunobu conditions, a one-pot cyclization is accomplished with triethylsilane and trifluoroacetic acid. This conversion involves Boc deprotection and an intramolecular reductive N-alkylation. A consecutive methylation at N-1 can be accomplished by adding 1,3,5-trioxane to the reaction mixture. The resulting N4-monoprotected 1,4-benzodiazepines are versatile building blocks for the synthesis of variously substituted drug candidates.
