A metal‐free expeditious strategy for the divergent synthesis of structurally diverse bicyclic imidazo[1,5‐ a ]pyrazine and imidazo[1,5‐ a ][1,4]diazepine scaffolds is disclosed by combining an Ugi four‐component reaction of easily available building blocks and an exo/endo selectivity‐switchable post‐Ugi intramolecular heterocyclization. Using PPh 3 , the intramolecular umpolung aza ‐Michael addition is mediated to selectively generate imidazopyrazinones through a 6‐ exo ‐ dig cyclization, while without PPh 3 fused imidazodiazepinones are obtained through a thermal 7‐ endo ‐ dig cyclization in moderate yields.
