Abstract

As a consequence of its prevalence as a “privileged” structure in many natural isolates and therapeutic agents, the indole framework has continued to capture the interest of chemists worldwide.[1] Consequently, numerous efforts have been devoted to the development of efficient methods to construct the indole architecture.[2] Work on this problem dates back to the seminal studies by Fischer and Jourdan,[3] which led to the synthesis of indoles by ...
