Abstract

The GBB-3CR is highly efficient in synthesizing the N-bridgehead heterobicyclic core associated with biologically interested compounds. This work presents a new method for the synthesis of the 3,5-dihydro-4H-1,2a1,3-triazaacenaphthylen-4-one scaffold by sequential GBB/N-Acylation/Radical cyclization reactions. A series of etherate reactants were used for the radical addition and cyclization reactions. The addition of ZnCl2 was found critical during the radical reaction. The substrate scope was demonstrated in the synthesis of 19 functionalized heterocyclic compounds.
