Polycyclic indole structures, possessing fused seven-membered rings were efficiently synthesized via the Pd-catalyzed intramolecular carbopalladation-annulation of 3-(2-iodobenzyl)-indoles and alkynes. A remarkable base effect on the chemoselectivity of this transformation has been found: switching from Et(3)N to CsOAc completely reverses the reaction path to intramolecular cyclization forming fused five-membered rings.
多环吲哚结构,具有稠合的七元环,可通过 Pd 催化的 3-(2-碘苄基)-吲哚和炔烃的分子内碳钯化-环化反应有效地合成。在这种转化的化学选择性方面发现了显著的碱效应:从 Et(3)N 切换到 CsOAc 完全改变了反应途径,形成了分子内环化,形成稠合的五元环。
