Updated classic: Primary and secondary alkylzinc reagents add to various aryldiazonium salts leading regioselectively to polyfunctional indoles by means of a [3,3]‐sigmatropic shift and subsequent aromatization. This organometallic variation of the Fischer indolesynthesis tolerates a wide range of functional groups and displays absolute regioselectivity.

method is proposed for the synthesis of the alkaloid ellipticine, which possesses a pronounced antitumoral activity. The interaction of 3-bromocyclohexene (1 equiv.) and 2,5-xylylidine (4 equiv., 150°C, 5 h) gave a mixture of hexa- and tetrahydrocarbazoles which was dehydrogenated in the presence of Pd/C to the key synthon 1,4-dimethylcarbazole.

It was found that the reactions of arylamines with 3-bromocyclohexene afforded hydrocarbazole compounds in 64-78% yields. A modified procedure for the synthesis of antitumor alkaloid ellipticine was proposed.
Efficient synthesis of indoles using [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of N-trifluoroacetyl enehydrazines
[3,3]-Sigmatropic rearrangement of N-triflluoroacetyl enehydrazines provides a novel method for the construction of indoles. N-Trifluoroacetyl enehydrazine having a cyclopentene ring smoothly underwent [3,3]-sign-tatropic rearrangement followed by cyclization to give indolines in excellent yield. On the other hand, both cyclohexenyl N-trifluoroacetyl enchydrazine and acyclic N-trifluoroacetyl enehydrazine gave indoles in good yield. Additionally, the substituent effect on the benzene ring was also studied. The rearrangement of N-trifluoroacetyl enchydrazines proceeded smoothly even Linder either aqueous or solvent-free conditions. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
