Divergent synthesis of N-fused indolylidine, indole, and indoline derivatives using alkyne iminium ion cyclization is described. Trapping of vinyl cation intermediate generated after alkyne iminium ion cyclization was found to be dependent on the Lewis/Bronsted acid and solvent used. N-Fused indolylidine triflate could be used in the divergent synthesis of N-fused indole derivatives.

ConspectusAlkenes and alkynes are fundamental building blocks in organic synthesis due to their commercial availability, bench-stability, and easy preparation. Selective functionalization of alkenes and alkynes is a crucial step for the synthesis of value-added compounds. Precise control over these reactions allows efficient construction of complex molecules with new functionalities.

Asymmetric total synthesis of (-)-fasicularin was achieved in nine steps from a commercially available inexpensive material, by leveraging (1) an aryl radical-mediated, copper-catalyzed Sonogashira-type cross-coupling, (2) a Au-catalyzed tandem intramolecular alkyne hydroamination/iminium formation/intramolecular allylation, and (3) a tandem hydrogenation/hydrogenolysis/intramolecular reductive amination as key transformations.

Despite much progress in the area of dearomatization, the enantioselective dearomatization of heterocycles is limited to those with a single heteroatom. Here we report a highly enantioselective copper-catalyzed dearomatization of pyrazine, a diazine, leading to chiral C-substituted piperazines. When exposed to a chloroformate and an alkyne in the presence of a catalyst derived from a copper salt and the chiral ligand StackPhos, pyrazine is readily dearomatized to provide a 2,3-disubstituted dihydropyrazine as single diastereomer in high enantiomeric excess.

This article is a comprehensive report describing our studies in the field of aza-alkynyl Prins chemistry, comparing and contrasting the different reaction partners and reactivities observed during method development. The synthetic strategies combine an alkynyl aza-Prins coupling with an annulation, enabling the preparation of different nitrogen-containing heterocycles. Different iminium ions are explored as viable electrophiles for an alkynyl Prins cyclization, terminated by capture with a halogen nucleophile to form a vinyl halide.

An efficient, acid-mediated, intramolecular alkyne iminium ion cyclization of oxoisoindolidene for the diastereoselective synthesis of pyrrolo/pyridoisoindole is described. This protocol features broad substrate scope and easy scalability. An unusual N to C-1,3-alkyl shift is observed with substrates bearing strong electron donating group at the phenyl ring attached to alkyne with concomitant hydration of alkyne to the ketone.
