3‐Nitroindoles are easily reacted with highly substituted γ‐allenoates in the presence of a commercially available phosphine catalyst. For instance, allenoates derived from biomolecules such as amino and deoxycholic acids are combined for the first time with 3‐nitroindole. The corresponding dearomatized (3+2) tricyclic cycloadducts are obtained as α‐regioisomers exclusively. DFT computations shed light on this multi‐step reaction mechanism and on the selectivities observed in the sequence.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
