Starting from 4-dicarbethoxybutan-1-one (I) and o-chlorocyanoacetophenone (II), in the presence of sufur the aminobenzoylthiophene (III) was obtained. Saponification, decarboxylation and esterification yielded the mono ester (IV), which was acetylated to (V). Amination and ring closure gave the corresponding diazepinone (VII). Sulfuration of (VII), treatment with hydrazine and then with orthoacetate yielded the triazolo compound (X). Saponification of (X) and amidation with morpholine in the presence of carbodiimidazole gave WEB 2086.
