Abstract
We report a collection of “selectivity rules” for the dearomative (3+2) annulation reaction between substituted indoles and oxyallyl cations. The application of these rules enables us to synthesize four different regioisomeric permutations of the annulation products in a stereoselective fashion. We demonstrated that these products could be further transformed into hexahydro- and tetrahydrocarbazoles by nucleophile-intercepted Beckmann fragmentation (NuBFr) and Beckmann fragmentation (BFr).
期刊介绍:
Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis (ASC) is the leading primary journal in organic, organometallic, and applied chemistry.
The high impact of ASC can be attributed to the unique focus of the journal, which publishes exciting new results from academic and industrial labs on efficient, practical, and environmentally friendly organic synthesis. While homogeneous, heterogeneous, organic, and enzyme catalysis are key technologies to achieve green synthesis, significant contributions to the same goal by synthesis design, reaction techniques, flow chemistry, and continuous processing, multiphase catalysis, green solvents, catalyst immobilization, and recycling, separation science, and process development are also featured in ASC. The Aims and Scope can be found in the Notice to Authors or on the first page of the table of contents in every issue.
