Abstract

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 under microwave irradiation conditions. This new protocol has the advantages of higher yield, lower cost, reduced environmental impact, and ­convenient procedure.
