One-Pot Diastereoselective Synthesis of Pyrrolopiperazine-2,6-diones by a Ugi/Nucleophilic Substitution/N-Acylation Sequence.

ABSTRACT: The diastereoselective synthesis of two families of pyrrolopiperazine-2,6-diones is presented. These compounds were prepared by one-pot Ugi/nucleophilic substitution/N-acylation/debenzoylation/(elimination) sequences. This novel route provides straightforward access to a wide variety of pyrrolopiperazine-2,6-diones with high chemical yields and complete diastereoselectivities. The proposed synthetic strategy poses a significant improvement compared to the syntheses of pyrrolopiperazine-2,6-diones previously described, as it allows introduction of different substituents to the C4 position and the diastereoselective generation of a new stereogenic center on the bridgehead carbon (C8a).
