Abstract
A facile, mild, and scalable late-stage N-alkenylative modification strategy is introduced on 1H-indoles, 9H-carbazoles, and their structural derivatives and analogues, including alkaloids, bioactive agents, and tryptophan motifs, via chemo- and regioselective phosphine-mediated propiolate hydroamination. Saliently, through this protocol, bisconjugation and macrocyclization on (bis)indolic scaffolds can also be accomplished, with the installation of new α,β-unsaturated ester handles for potential further versatile synthetic manipulations.
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.
