Tandem Phospha-Michael Addition/N-Acylation/ Intramolecular Wittig Reaction of aza-o-Quinone Methides: Approaches to 2,3-Disubstituted Indoles

摘要

A tandem phospha-Michael addition/N-acylation/intramolecular Wittig reaction of in situ formed aza-o-QMs is disclosed. This approach features high functional group tolerance and provides a convenient and practical access to biologically significant indole derivatives (37 examples, up to 91% yield) under mild reaction conditions.
