This report describes the gold-catalyzed synthesis of fused polycyclic indoles from substituted 2-(1H-indol-1-yl) alkylamines and alkynoic acids in waterundermicrowaveirradiation. This protocol proceeds in high atom economy and leads to the generation of two rings, together with the formation of one new C–C bond and two new C–N bonds in a single operation. The advantages of the method include a
scope. In addition, this is the first example of the generation of an indole/thiophene/pyrrole/pyridine/naphthalene/benzene-fused N-heterocycle library through gold catalysis in water from readily available materials. Notably, the discovery of antibacterial molecules from this library demonstrates its high quality and potential for the identification of active pharmaceutical ingredients.
