4-Aza-podophyllotoxin derivatives were synthesized via the three-component reaction of an aldehyde, an aromatic amine, and either tetronic acid or 1,3-indanedione in water undermicrowaveirradiationconditions. This new protocol has the advantages of higher yield, lower cost, reduced environmental impact, and convenient procedure.

A series of 4-aza-podophyllotoxin derivatives have been synthesized regioselectively via the three-component reaction of aldehydes, aromatic amines, and tetronic acid catalyzed by L-proline. This method has the advantages of high yield, high regioselectivity, extensive adaptability, easy operation, and environmental friendliness. These compounds were also investigated in vitro, and sonic were found to have good anticancer activity.
