Generation of molecular diversity using a complexity-generating MCR-platform towards triazinane diones

Triazinane diones, readily generated by a recently reported multicomponent reaction, can be easily alkylated with various alkyl halides, allowing a wide variety of complexity-generating secondary reactions. Because of the high variability of the initial multicomponent reactions and the multiple possibilities for participation of substituents in the secondary reactions, a highly diverse set of complex products was obtained in short and efficient reaction sequences. © 2008 The Royal Society of Chemistry
