Abstract

A convenient, microwave-assisted, one-pot synthesis of the fulgimides (3) bearing reactive groups on N-substituents from the corresponding fulgides (1a-d) and amines (2a-e) is described. The synthesis provided the functionalized fulgimides (3) in yields of 50-84% under microwave irradiation within 25 min in the presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC).
