One-step assembly of carbamoyl-substituted heteroannelated [1,4]thiazepines.

We present a convenient synthesis of novel heteroaryl-fused 3-oxo-1,4-thiazepine-5-carboxamides and 5-oxo-1,4-thiazepine-3-carboxamides using a modification of four-component Ugi condensation. We demonstrate the usefulness and versatility of the developed approach for the synthesis of variously substituted compounds and discuss the scope and limitations of the chemistry involved.

A parallel solution-phase synthesis of substituted 3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes.

The parallel solution-phase synthesis of a series of building blocks and combinatorial libraries based on natural bispidine scaffold has been accomplished. Key reactions include catalytic hydrogenation of the (-)-cytisine heterocyclic system, followed by alkali-mediated ring cleavage. Using this approach, a series of new bispidine core building blocks for combinatorial synthesis with three points of diversity were effectively synthesized.
