Abstract

A one-pot approach for the synthesis of epoxypyrrolo[3,4-g]indazoles is presented. The first step was initiated by a three-component reaction of an isocyanide, a dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylate, and 2-furancarboxylic acid, and led to 1,3-dioxoepoxyisoindole, followed by the addition of hydrazonoyl chloride through a [3+2]-cycloaddition reaction in the second step. The key step in the formation of final compound involves a bicyclization strategy through intramolecular Diels–Alder­ (IMDA) reaction.
