Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) represent an invaluable tool for accessing complex structural frameworks in a straightforward and one-pot manner, often enabling access to a broad diversity of molecules, which can be instrumental for drug discovery campaigns. Recently, the group of Professor Taleb H. Al-Tel from the University of Sharjah (UAE) reported a novel application of MCRs – combining a sequence of Groebke–Blackburn–Bienaymé and aza-Michael addition aractions – which allowed a straightforward one-pot synthesis of a range of interesting heterocyclic structures, including benzoxazepinium scaffolds fused to imidazopyridine and imidazothiazole rings.

Professor Al-Tel said: „A modular and ideal one-pot starting material-based approach for accessing a unique library of polycyclic benzoxazepines with a broad distribution of molecular shapes is reported.”
