Abstract: | Methods for the synthesis of dihydroazaphenanthrene fused to macrocycles (2) and medium-ring heterocycles (4), as well as 1,4-benzodiazepine-2,5-diones (5), are developed. A distinctly different catalytic property of palladium and copper catalysts was uncovered that leads to the development of a divergent synthesis of two different heterocyclic scaffolds from the same starting materials, simply by metal-switching. Thus, starting from linear amide 3, palladium acetate triggers a domino intramolecular N-arylation/C-H activation/aryl-aryl bond-forming process to provide 4, while copper iodide promotes only the intramolecular N-arylation reaction leading to 5. In combination with the Ugi multicomponent reaction (Ugi-4CR) for the preparation of the linear amides, a two-step synthesis of either the 5,6-dihydro-8H-5,7a-diazacycloheptajk]phenanthrene-4,7-dione (4) or 1,4-benzodiazepine-2,5-diones (5), by appropriate choice of metal catalyst, is subsequently developed from very simple starting materials. |
