Synthesis of Novel N-Rich Polycyclic Skeletons Based on Azoles and Pyridines

Abstract

An efficient method for the synthesis of new polycyclic skeletons: triaza-benzofluorenes and triaza-pentalenonaphthalene from bicyclic privileged structures imidazopyridine and imidazothiazole, respectively, has been described using the Pictet-Spengler cyclization.
