indoles represent a privileged class of substructures that is ubiquitous in natural products and pharmaceuticals. While numerous exocyclic functionalizations of indoles have provided access to a variety of useful derivatives, endocyclic transformations involving the cleavage of the C2–N bond remain challenging due to the high aromaticity and strength of this bond in indoles. Herein, we report the “aromatic
在众多的芳香族化合物中,
吲哚代表了在
天然产物和药物中普遍存在的一类特殊的亚结构。尽管
吲哚的许多外环官能化提供了各种有用衍
生物的途径,但由于
吲哚中该键的高芳香性和强度,涉及C2-N键断裂的环内转化仍然具有挑战性。在本文中,我们报告了通过将
硼插入C2-N键将
吲哚“芳族变态”为1,2-苯并氮杂
硼烷。该环内插入包括使用
锂金属的还原性开环和随后用有机
硼酸酯捕获所得的双阴离子物质。考虑到1,2-天青素作为苯的BN异构体已引起了学术界和工业界的日益关注,
