Palladium-catalysed regioselectiveN-arylation of anthranilamides: a tandem route for dibenzodiazepinone synthesis

A palladium-catalyzed tandem reaction of 2-aminobenzamide and 1,2-dihaloarenes for the synthesis of dibenzodiazepinoneviadoubleN-arylations (inter and intra-molecular) has been achieved.
