Efficient catalytic assembly for cyclohepta[b]indoles is achieved through sequential transformations: ring-closing metathesis, catalytic hydrogenation, and acid-catalyzed ring expansion. Ring closing metathesis (RCM) and hydrogenation of oxindoles yield spirocyclohexane-3-oxindoles. A subsequent spontaneous ring expansion-aromatization sequence, catalyzed by either Lewis or Brønsted acid, results in
环庚[b]吲哚的有效催化组装是通过顺序转化实现的:闭环复分解、催化氢化和酸催化扩环。羟吲哚的闭环复分解(RCM)和氢化产生螺环己烷-3-羟吲哚。随后由路易斯或布朗斯台德酸催化的自发扩环芳构化序列产生环庚[ b ]吲哚或环庚[ b ]吲哚-二氢吲哚缀合物。
