Ugi/aldol sequence: expeditious entry to several families of densely substituted nitrogen heterocycles

Zhigang Xu et al. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. .

Abstract

All it takes is the Aldol: Nitrogen containing heterocycles have been assembled by means of unprecedented domino processes, designed to take advantage of diversity assembly via strategically decorated Ugi products. The aldol reaction is the second common denominator which enables sequences of up to 5 steps in one pot producing unique molecular architecture in rapid fashion.
