借助含磺酰基的布朗斯台德酸离子液体,开发了一种使用容易获得的吲哚和简单的酮为底物合成3-乙烯基吲哚的直接脱水偶联方案。该协议的主要特点是合成效率高,无金属和无溶剂系统,可循环使用的催化剂,条件温和且产品易于分离。使用离子液体催化剂,还以2-羟基甲基吲哚和苯乙酮为起始原料,开发了迄今为止尚未报道的简单的吲哚[3,2- b ]咔唑骨架的构建方法。
A simple, direct synthesis of 3-vinylindoles from the carbocation-catalysed dehydrative cross-coupling of ketones and indoles. A combined experimental and computational study
straightforward synthesis of a library of largely new 3-vinylindoles via a clean dehydrative coupling reaction between ketones and indoles has been developed. Highly stable, non-nucleophilic aryl(2-methylindol-3-yl)methylium salts have been used as efficient Lewis acid catalysts. The advantages of the reaction are the use of equimolar amounts of inexpensive and easily available reagents, the low catalyst amount
