β¦ Synopsis
A new approach to the construction of tricyclic 1,4-benzodiazepines has been developed, based upon the intramolecular Diels-Alder (IMDA)reaction of 2-cyano-l-azadienes. This study revealed the difficulties inherent to the direct transformation of imine-amide 2 to azadiene 3, but demonstrated the efficiency of the intramolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition of azadiene 13 as a means to access benzodiazepines 14a,b (3 : 2 mixture; 74% combined yield).

The title compound can be obtained with up to five asymmetric centres of known absolute configuration by a diastereoselective intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction between optically active N-substituted fuffurylamines and maleic anhydride, in which the chirality is transferred from one stereocentre to
3-Methylene-1,2,4-[3H]naphthalenetrione, generated by Knoevenagel condensation of 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone with formaldehyde, undergoes facile hetero Diels-Alder reaction with various dienophiles affording derivatives of aand b-lapachone.
