Boron Trifluoride‐Catalyzed Synthesis of 3‐Alkylidene‐3H‐indole N‐Oxides via Tandem Reaction of Propargylic Alcohols and Nitrosobenzenes

Abstract: An atom-economical synthesis of 3-alkylidene-3H-indole N-oxides has been developed via atandemreactionofp ropargylic alcoholsand nitrosobenzenes in the presenceo fb oront rifluoride etherate (BF 3 ·Et 2 O) as catalyst. This method offers great potential for the synthesis of biologically important 3-alkylidene-3H-indole N-oxides and related derivatives.

“…By using nitrosobenzenes 138 instead of azides to perform the reaction with propargylic alcohols 1 , the functionalized 3‐alkylidene‐3 H ‐indole N ‐oxides 139 , which were intriguing skeletons bearing significantly biological activities, were successfully be formed in good to excellent yields under mild conditions (Scheme 54). [73] Various tertiary propargylic alcohols bearing alkyl or aryl substitutes were compatible with this transformation. In this case, the generated intermediate A underwent intramolecular cyclization to give the final product 139 .…”

“…The synthesis of 3‐alkylidene‐3 H ‐indole N ‐oxides 61 has been described through a tandem reaction of propargylic alcohols and nitrosobenzenes catalyzed by boron trifluoride etherate in the presence of CH 2 Cl 2 at 0 °C (Scheme 42). [94] The mechanism included the formation of propargyl and allenic carbocation by the reaction of boron trifluoride etherate with propargylic alcohols. The nitrosobenzene attacks the less sterically hindered allenic carbocation, followed by a Friedel‐Crafts cyclization and deprotonation leading to the product (Scheme 42).…”
