Abstract
A novel domino strategy for the construction of intricate bridged bis-thiopyrano[2,3-b]indoles was disclosed, which involved one molecule of 3-formylchromones and two molecules of indoline-2-thiones, enabling the formation of four new bonds in a single operation. The transformation occurred under mild reaction conditions, facilitated by the synergistic action of the base NaHCO3 and the catalytic acid ZnCl2. Notably, when these bridged bis-thiopyrano[2,3-b]indole skeletons were treated with alkyl halides under basic conditions, they underwent deconstruction to yield alkylthio-substituted indole-decorated thiopyrano[2,3-b]indoles.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
