Gold(i) and platinum(ii) switch: a post-Ugi intramolecular hydroarylation to pyrrolopyridinones and pyrroloazepinones†
Abstract
A regioselective approach for the synthesis of pyrrolopyridinones and pyrroloazepinones is reported employing an Ugi reaction followed by a gold(I) or platinum(II) catalyzed intramolecular hydroarylation.
