Abstract

Molecules carrying the azido functionality are widely used as intermediates in medicinal chemistry. Pyrrolobenzodiazepines are molecules with a broad range of interesting pharmacological properties. Due to the wide importance of azido-PBD as a key intermediate in many synthetic pathways, in this work we have investigated the effect of a variety of experimental parameters on the mechanism of nucleophilic substitution reaction for introducing an azide group into the PBD scaffold. This study was carried out by combined experimental and DFT approaches, showing that SN2 and double SN2 pathways are possible and highly dependent on the reaction temperature.
