Chemodivergent synthesis of functionalized methanodibenzo[<i>b</i>,<i>f</i>][1,5]diazocin-13-ylmethanones and tetrahydroquinolines <i>via</i> solvent-dependent AB₂ and A₂B₂ multicomponent annulation reactions

Abstract

A solvent-dependent chemodivergent approach was developed for the synthesis of 6,12-methanodibenzo[<italic>b</italic>,<italic>f</italic>][1,5]diazocin-13-ylmethanones and 2,3,4-trisubstituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines involving two distinct AB₂ and A₂B₂ multicomponent processes.
