Abstract
En 中文
Stepwise annulative skeletal editing of azofurans with 2-vinylindoles is reported, enabling a Brønsted acid-catalyzed dearomative skeletal rearrangement of azofurans and an electrophilic halogen reagent (NXS)-mediated aminohalogenation cascade to produce 32 examples of tetracyclic indoles in good yields with excellent diastereoselectivity (>19:1 dr in all cases). Remarkably, an extended one-pot three-step sequence, which incorporated an additional hydrogen bromide elimination step into the above transformations, afforded tetracyclic indoles bearing an exocyclic terminal alkene motif. This protocol demonstrates a broad substrate scope and good functional-group tolerance, enabling the transformation of planar 2D aromatic furans into 3D tetracyclic indoles with complete regio- and diastereoselectivities.
