Efficient traceless solid-phase synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrazino[1,2-b]indazoles and their 6-oxides.

A highly efficient novel traceless solid-phase synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrazino[1,2-b]indazoles and their 6-oxides was developed by using commercially available building blocks, diamines, 2-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chlorides, and bromoketones/bromoacetates. Mild reaction conditions, diversely substituted building blocks, and high purity of crude products enabled effective combinatorial syntheses of libraries.
