A novel method is presented for the one-pot synthesis of substituted 3-(2-hydroxyethyl)-and 3-(3-hydroxypropyl) indoles (tryptophols and homotryptophols) from aryl hydrazines and silyl- protected ω-(hydroxyoalkyl) alkynes. Various tryptophol derivatives were prepared directly in good yield with excellent regioselectivity via a domino reaction sequence consisting of a titanium-catalyzed hydroamination of the alkyne,[3+ 3]-rearrangement of the resulting aryl ...
