Abstract
A highly electrophilic copper enalcarbenoid has been disclosed here for the first time for its carbenoid reactivity. The synthetic utility of the transient Cu-enalcarbenoids has been demonstrated in the Cu-catalyzed direct synthesis of 1,7-disubstituted indoles from diazoenals and N-substituted pyrroles. In this reaction, Cu-enalcarbenoid served as a 4[C] biselectrophilic synthon whereas pyrrole served as a 2[C] bisnucleophilie leading to [4+2] benzannulation.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
