RADICAL CYCLIZATIONS OF ARYL BROMIDES FOR SYNTHESIS OF CYCLOPENTA[b]INDOLES FROM VINCE LACTAM

摘要

Radical cyclizations of aryl bromides, synthesized in two steps from Vince lactam, afforded cyclopenta[b]indoles in good yields. Furthermore, an unprecedented method for constructing cyclopenta[b]indoles utilizing tricyclic intermediate was also explored.
