Abstract
3-Propargylindoles with a terminal alkyne, efficiently prepared from direct alkylation of indoles, undergo a tandem 1,2-indole migration/cyclopropanation reaction under gold(I) catalysis. Reaction conditions have been developed for suitable access to indole-substituted vinylcyclopropanes from 3-propargyl indoles and olefins. The corresponding 2-alkenyl-functionalized substrates evolve through an intramolecular cyclopropanation allowing the synthesis of various polycyclic indole derivatives. The presence of silver salts modifies the diastereoselectivity observed.
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.
