A Radical-Initiated Fragmentary Rearrangement Cascade of Ene-Ynamides to [1,2]-Annulated Indoles via Site-Selective Cyclization
Straightforward access to [1,2]-annulated indoles, key substructures in natural products, is highly desirable yet challenging. Herein, a radical triggered fragmentary cyclization cascade reaction of ene-ynamides is presented, providing a rapid access into [1,2]-annulated indoles by an intermolecular radical addition, intramolecular cyclization, desulfonylative aryl migration, and site-selective C(sp2)-N cyclization sequence. DFT calculations support oxidation of N-centered radical species to cations prior to the C–N bond formation, followed by an unusual aza-Nazarov cyclization.
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.
