Cu(OTf)2/HFIP catalyzed regioselective cycloisomerization of indole-C3-functionalized alkynols to carbazoles

Abstract

We report here a simple and atom economic cycloisomerization reaction of indole-tethered alkynols for constructing diverse carbazoles using Cu(OTf)2/HFIP as the excellent promoter system. The reaction proceeds through a one-pot, domino process of spiro cyclization and 1,2-migration followed by aromatization to deliver carbazoles.
