The current invention provides a novel electrochemical synthetic method for producing a novel dihydrobenzo[b,e] pyrroloazepines hybrides containing
maleimide and tetrahydroquinoline heterocycles using specially designed olefin known as 2-amino substituted benzylidene derivatives as starting material. Seven-membered N-containing heterocycles, in particular 1-
benzazepines are the integral structure of many bioactive compounds such as
antidepressant drugs, anti-convulsants, anti-HIV etc. This
present method provides an oxidant-free and
metal-free process for the synthesis of a new class of Dihydrobenzo[b,e] pyrroloazepines
hybrid containing
maleimide / succinamide, benzoazepine and
tetrahydroisoquinoline as well as other cyclic / acyclic amines via electrochemical C(sp3)- H functionalizing followed by
cascade cyclization using easily available reagents. unique, efficient, eco-friendly, cost-effective, and safe technology has been developed to expedite the novel synthetic process. This method comprises the simple electrochemical synthesis of dihydrobenzo[b,e] pyrroloazepines derivatives using a suitable
electrode and
electrolyte under ambient temperature. The synthesis employs an
environmentally friendly electrochemical method that doesn't rsequire transition metals and external oxidants. This method is highly effective and scalable, contributing to both atom and step economy in the process. As a result, this methodology holds substantial significance. It presents a novel avenue for synthesizing new scaffolds that are useful as potential bioactive heterocyclic scaffolds photophysically relevant, including and chemo sensors to detect
picric acid and other nitro compounds.
