An oxidative N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed higher-order (5 + 3) cyclization reaction starting from 2-indolylphenols and α,β-alkynals with the aid of Sc(OTf)3 is reported, enabling the direct synthesis of tetracyclic 8-membered lactones bearing a bridged aryl-indole unit in moderate to good yields. This protocol exhibits a broad substrate scope, good compatibility with substituents and mild conditions, offering a modular organocatalytic approach for creating medium-sized lactones.
期刊介绍:
Tetrahedron publishes full accounts of research having outstanding significance in the broad field of organic chemistry and its related disciplines, such as organic materials and bio-organic chemistry.
Regular papers in Tetrahedron are expected to represent detailed accounts of an original study having substantially greater scope and details than that found in a communication, as published in Tetrahedron Letters.
Tetrahedron also publishes thematic collections of papers as special issues and ''Reports'', commissioned in-depth reviews providing a comprehensive overview of a research area.
