Enantioselective Intermolecular Formal [3 + 3] Cycloaddition of 2,3-Disubstituted Indoles with Acrolein
摘要:
An expedient enantioselective synthesis of highly substituted hydrocarbazoles has been realized by an organocatalyzed formal [3 + 3] cycloaddition between acrolein and 2,3-disubstituted indoles. Tricyclic hydrocarbazoles were obtained from a broad range of 2,3-disubstituted indoles and acrolein in good to excellent yields and excellent enantioselectivites.

AbstractKopsinine and related alkaloids are attractive synthetic targets because of their structural complexity and biological activities. An organocatalytic Michael addition/aza‐Michael addition/cyclization cascade sequence has been developed for the enantioselective preparation of tetracyclic spiroindolines from 2,3‐disubstituted indoles and propargyl aldehyde in moderate to good yields and good to excellent enantioselectivities. The synthetic value of these advanced structures has been demonstrated by the synthesis of kopsinine and related alkaloids. Key steps for the concise synthesis of these alkaloids included an efficient enantioselective construction of tetracyclic spiroindolines bearing a dienamino ester moiety and the organocatalyzed nucleophilic addition of a dienamino ester to acrolein.magnified image
