Dearomative Indole (3 + 2) Reactions with Azaoxyallyl Cations – New Method for the Synthesis of Pyrroloindolines
نویسندگان
چکیده
Herein, we report the first examples of the synthesis of pyrroloindolines by means of (3 + 2) dearomative annulation reactions between 3-substituted indoles and highly reactive azaoxyallyl cations. Computational studies using density functional theory (DFT) (B3LYP-D3/6-311G**++) support a stepwise reaction pathway in which initial C-C bond formation takes place at C3 of indole, followed by ring closure to give the observed products. Insights gleaned from these calculations indicate that the solvent, either TFE or HFIP, can stabilize the transition state through H-bonding interactions with oxygen of the azaoxyallyl cation and other relevant intermediates, thereby increasing the rates of these reactions.

Azaoxyallyl cations represent a family of versatile and powerful synthetic synthons, which are generally in situ generated from a-halohydroxamates in the presence of organic or inorganic bases. Owing to the unique structural features and reactivities of azaoxyallyl cations, some various efforts have been made to enrich the synthetic methodology of azaoxyallyl cations (Scheme 1, 1). In 2011, Jef...

The (R)-BINOL•SnCl4-catalyzed formal (3 + 2) cycloaddition between 3-substituted indoles and benzyl 2-trifluoroacetamidoacrylate is a direct, enantioselective method to prepare pyrroloindolines from simple starting materials. However, under the originally disclosed conditions, the pyrroloindolines are formed as mixtures of diastereomers, typically in the range of 3:1 to 5:1 favoring the exo-pro...
