Abstract

Abstract Functionalized spiro-tetrahydro-β-carbolines were formed by an efficient gold (I)- catalyzed rearrangement reaction of alkynylaziridine indoles. The reaction involved a Friedel–Crafts type intramolecular reaction of alkynylaziridine indoles, following by hydroamination of aminoallene intermediate.
