Brønsted Acid-Catalyzed Cascade Reactions Involving 1,2-Indole Migration

A cascade reaction of indoles with propargylic diols involving an unprecedented metal-free 1,2-indole migration onto an alkyne is here described. DFT calculations support a mechanism consisting in a concerted nucleophilic attack of the indole nucleus with loss of water followed by the 1,2-migration...

Sumario:A cascade reaction of indoles with propargylic diols involving an unprecedented metal-free 1,2-indole migration onto an alkyne is here described. DFT calculations support a mechanism consisting in a concerted nucleophilic attack of the indole nucleus with loss of water followed by the 1,2-migration and subsequent Nazarov cyclization. This Brønsted acid-catalyzed protocol affords indole-functionalized benzofulvene derivatives in high yields.
