A FLEXIBLE, CONVERGENT ROUTE TO AZAOXINDOLES, AZAINDOLINES, AZAINDOLES, AND TETRAHYDROAZAQUINOLONES

摘要

A variety of azaoxindoles, azaindolines, azaindoles, and tetrahydroazaquinolones can be readily prepared by cyclisation onto pyridine rings of radicals derived from xanthates. The xanthate precursors may themselves be produced by intermolecular radical addition-transfer to allylamino- or butenoylamide side-chains.
