Abstract
A palladium-catalyzed tandem reaction of 1-(2-iodophenyl)-3-arylprop-2-yn-1-ones and 1-(2-azidophenyl)propargyl ethers is developed to provide the rapid construction of a fused polycyclic indenone–indole scaffold under mild conditions. The reaction proceeds via a highly ordered process involving Sonogashira coupling, propargyl–allenyl isomerization, allene–azide cycloaddition, denitrogenation, and diradical coupling. The proposed reaction mechanism is supported by experimental and computational studies.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
