A stereoselective synthesis of functionalized hexahydrocarbazoles was developed based on an unprecedented photoredox-induced dearomative radical (4+2)-cyclization/1,4-addition cascade between 3-(2-iodoethyl)indoles and acceptor-substituted alkenes. The title reaction simultaneously generates three C-C bonds and one C-H bond, along with three contiguous stereogenic centers. The hexahydro-1H-carbazole products are highly valuable intermediates for the synthesis of novel antibiotics, as well as unnatural ring homologues of polycyclic indoline alkaloids.

Mithilfe dieser Reaktion werden drei CC -Bindungen und eine C-H-Bindung simultan gebildet sowie drei benachbarte Stereozentren aufgebaut. Die so erhaltenen Hexahydro-1H-carbazole sind vielversprechende Intermediate fürd ie Synthese neuer Antibiotika sowie nichtnatürlicher Ring-Homologe polycyclischer Indolin-Alkaloide. Abbildung 1.
