Brønsted Acid Catalyzed (3+2)‐Cycloaddition of Thioketones and Indole‐2‐Carbinols Toward Thiazolo[3,4‐a]indoles

Abstract: Herein, we report a Brønsted acid catalyzed approach to access the yet unknown heterocyclic motif of thiazolo [3,4-a]indoles in a one-pot reaction under very mild conditions. A broad range of thiazolo[3,4-a]indoles was generated from indole-2-methanols and thioketones with 45-99% yield and good functional group tolerance. The practicality of the process and the synthetic potential of the products were demonstrated with an upscaling experiment and further transformations. Additional control experiments provided… Show more

“…When incorporated into indole derivatives, this combination not only introduces structural diversity but also often results in compounds with enhanced bioactivity. The 2-aryl-4H- [1,3]thiazolo [4,5-b] a class of compounds that hold great potential for the medicinal applications, unveiling a balance between synthetic accessibility and biological relevance [3][4][5].…”

“…In this context, indolylmethanols have been recognized as versatile platform molecules for a variety of transformations, and their involved reactions have provided efficient methods for the synthesis of indole-based heterocycles. Particularly, 2-indolylmethanol has exhibited great potential in the synthesis of indole derivatives and construction of indole-fused rings based on its unique property of C3-umpolung under the catalysis of Brønsted acid (B–H) (Scheme a). ,, Specifically, in the presence of B–H, 2-indolylmethanol undergoes dehydration to generate a series of carbocation, vinyliminium, and delocalized carbocation intermediates exhibiting C3-electrophilicity, thus undergoing regioselective substitutions and (3+n) cycloadditions , to generate indole derivatives and indole-fused rings.…”
