A new type of donor-acceptor cyclopropane has been prepared from commercially available cyclopropane- 1,1-diesters. This cyclopropane reacts with triflic anhydride to produce an isolable tristrifloxy intermediate which when treated with primary amines gives 6-trifloxy-7-azaindolines which in turn can be dehydrogenated to the azaindoles. The 6-trifloxy substituent can be used to introduce diversity at this position via a variety of cross-coupling reactions thus preparing potentially interesting compounds based on the important 7-azaindole pharmacophore.
