Reagent-Based Diversity-Oriented Synthesis of Triazolo[1,5-a][1,4]diazepine Derivatives from Polymer-Supported Homoazidoalanine.

Herein, we report the synthesis of skeletally different triazolo[1,5-a][1,4]diazepines starting from immobilized homoazidoalanine. After sulfonylation with 2/4-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chlorides and Mitsunobu alkylation with various alkynols, the corresponding N-substituted nitrobenzenesulfonamides were obtained. Their catalyst-free Huisgen cycloaddition provided immobilized and functionalized triazolo[1,5-a][1,4]diazepines as the key intermediates for further modification. Using the concept of diversity-oriented, reagent-based synthesis, the key intermediates were subsequently converted to heterocycles bearing [5 + 7 + 5], [5 + 7 + 6], and [5 + 7 + 7] scaffolds. Furthermore, the synthesis of spirocyclic triazolodiazepines was developed.
