4-Alkynyl indoles, when treated with a benzylidene malonate or a donor-acceptor cyclopropane in the presence of a zinc halide, furnished 3,4-hexannylated or 3,4-heptannulated products, respectively, in fair to excellent yields. The reaction proceeds via a tandem addition/Conia-ene cyclization.
4-炔基吲哚在卤化锌存在下与苯亚甲基丙二酸酯或给体-受体环丙烷反应,分别以中等到优秀的收率得到 3,4-己烷基化或 3,4-庚烷基化产物。该反应通过串联加成/Conia-ene 环化进行。
