A radical cascade cyanoisopropylation/cyclization reaction of 2,2'-azobis(2-methylpropionitrile) (AIBN) with 1-methacryloyl-3-phenyl-1-indole-2-carbonitrile has been realized, providing an efficient strategy to access various pyrrolo[1,2-]indol-3-ones in good to excellent yields with good functional group compatibility. The notable features of this protocol include avoiding the use of a photocatalyst and a transition metal, scalability, and ethanol as the green solvent. Moreover, mechanistic studies have been conducted and a plausible mechanism has been proposed.
实现了2,2'-偶氮二(2-甲基丙腈)(AIBN)与1-甲基丙烯酰基-3-苯基-1-吲哚-2-腈的自由基串联氰基异丙基化/环化反应,为高效合成各种吡咯并[1,2-]吲哚-3-酮提供了一种策略,产率良好至优异,官能团兼容性良好。该方法的显著特点包括避免使用光催化剂和过渡金属、可扩展性以及使用乙醇作为绿色溶剂。此外,还进行了机理研究并提出了合理的机理。
