Studies into the synthesis of azolopyrrolidinobenzodiazepinones and related compounds. Oxidative cyclisations, oxidative fragmentations and oxidative rearrangements in the reactions of azolylmethyl-N-phenyl-lactams and related compounds with cerium (IV) ammonium nitrate

Abstract

Depending on the nature of the bridge connecting the two hetero rings of the substrates of types 4, 7, 11 and 12 studied, the substrates are attacked by CAN at different sites and, therefore, afford different types of oxidation products.
