Abstract
A new approach for the synthesis of multi-functionalized 1,5-benzodiazepines is developed starting from o-phenylenediamines, β-keto esters and aromatic aldehydes utilizing a one-pot, three-component strategy employing bromodimethylsulfonium bromide as the catalyst. The simple reaction procedure, good yields, mild reaction conditions and applicability to a wide range of substrates are some of the salient features of this protocol.

- 18 1,5-Benzodiazepines; General Procedure In an oven-dried 25 mL round-bottomed flask was added the requisite o-phenylenediamine (1.0 mmol) and β-keto ester (1.0 mmol) in DCE (3 mL). Next, bromodimethylsulfonium bromide (10 mol%) was added and the mixture was stirred at r.t. After 15 min, the aromatic aldehyde (1.0 mmol) was added and the mixture was heated at 55 °C for the appropriate amount of time. Following completion (TLC), the solvent was removed on a rotary evaporator. The residue was extracted with CH2Cl2 (2 × 10 mL), washed with H2O (10 mL) and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. The solution was filtered, concentrated in vacuo and the residue purified by column chromatography (EtOAc–hexane, 5:95) to provide the 1,5-diazepine product.
