New and practical acid-promoted domino bicyclization between 2,2-dihydroxyindene-1,3-dione and cyclic enaminones has been established for the formation of tetracyclic isochromeno[4,3-b]indoles under microwave heating. The present method simultaneously installs C-N, C-O, and C-C bonds, allowing direct assemble of functionalized isochromeno[4,3-b]indole skeleton with a wide diversity in substituents. The reaction features reliable scalability, flexibility of structural modification, and wide substrate scope as well as operational simplicity, and it can avoid time-consuming and costly syntheses, tedious work-up, and isolation of intermediate.
