Abstract

A sequential strategy to access 10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[b,e][1,4]diazepinones (DBDAPs) is disclosed in this article through Palladium and Copper catalyzed amination (Buchwald-Hartwig (B-H) or Chan-Lam (C-L))  followed by palladium catalyzed carbonylative cyclization with Mo(CO)6 as CO surrogate (to avoid toxic CO handling) of readily available o-pheneylenediamine and either 1,2-dibromobenzene or 2-bromobenzeneboronic acid. 10,11-Dihydro-5H-dibenzo[b,e][1,4]diazepinone could be synthezised in good yield using a sequential catalytic procedure, using both C-L and B-H approaches. Gratifingly, the use of the C-L reaction was more impressive, and afforded the dibenzodiazepinones in good yields (up to 45%; 2 steps) and much milder conditions using copper as the catalyst. The synthetic utility of this novel strategy was showcased by demonstrating a formal synthesis for the anti-psychotic drug clozapine and to an anti-cancer triazole-DBDAP hybrid.
