Synthesis of highly substituted dibenzoazocine derivatives by the aza-Claisen rearrangement and intramolecular Heck reaction via 8-exo-trig mode of cyclization
The synthesis of highly substituted dibenzo-azocine systems is still lacking. An efficient synthetic protocol utilizing the sequential aromatic aza-Claisen rearrangement followed by the implementation of the intramolecularHeck reaction as a key step has been developed for the synthesis of various dibenzo-azocine derivatives of biological relevance.
