of ethyl diazoacetate (EDA) to 2-aminobenzaldehydes cleanly affords the indole core. As opposed to other common approaches for the synthesis of indole, this method displays both excellent functional group tolerance and perfect regiochemical control. This allowed the synthesis of a variety of useful indole buildingblocks from 2-aminobenzaldehydes derived from readily available anthranilic acids.
Tricyclic ringsystems possessing a dibenzo structure joined to a seven‐membered heterocyclicring frequently show important biological activities. However, a modular approach to these molecules based on efficient intermolecular reaction of readily available chemicals is lacking. Herein, an unprecedented palladium‐catalyzed formal [4+3] annulation for modular construction of these tricyclic systems is described
