An eco-friendly, easily achievable and efficient strategy has been explored to synthesize functionalized bisthioglycolic acids using a variety of aldehydes and thioglycolic acid. The employed protocol is solvent free and provides the desirable products in excellent yields (90–99%) with atom economy. Besides, cost effectiveness, short reaction times and milder reaction conditions are among other captivating benefits of the reported methodology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The manuscript describes an efficient, atom economical synthesis of pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]benzodiazepin-4-ones by relatively unexplored 7-endo-trig Pictet–Spengler type cyclisations. The synthetic methdodlogy involves the synthesis of different variants of 5-arylidene-amino-3H-pyrimidines and their p-toluene sulfonic acid mediated 7-endo-trig Pictet–Spengler type cyclisations to afford biologically relavent functionalized benzodiazepine condensed pyrimidinones such as pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]benzodiazepines in good to excellent yields (82–94%).
