A convergent, transition-metal-free synthesis of 2-aryl-azaindoles has been developed. The interception of a reactive aza-ortho-azaquinone methide intermediate by an acyl anion equivalent generated through carbene catalysis provides high yields, a wide substrate scope, and the synthesis of previously inaccessible azaindoles.
一种收敛的、无需过渡金属的 2-芳基-氮杂吲哚合成方法已经开发出来。通过卡宾催化生成的酰基阴离子等价物捕获反应性的氮杂邻-氮杂醌甲叉中间体,可以得到高产率、广泛的底物范围,以及以前无法获得的氮杂吲哚的合成。
