Abstract

The palladium-catalyzed heteroannulation of N-carbobenzyloxy-o-iodoanilines with 1- phenylthio-1, 3-butadiene afforded indolines 7, which were oxidized with DDQ to produce vinylogous 2-(phenylthio) indoles 8. The latter compounds underwent highly regioselective Diels-Alder cycloadditions with methyl propiolate in the presence of MeAlCl2 or AlCl3, with simultaneous elimination of benzenethiol, to afford methyl N-(carbobenzyloxy) carbazole- ...
