The synthesis of cyclohepta[]indole derivatives through the dearomative (4 + 3) cycloaddition reaction of 2-vinylindoles or 4-furo[3,2-]indoles with in situ generated oxyallyl cations is reported. Oxyallyl cations are generated from α-bromoketones in the presence of a base and a perfluorinated solvent. Cyclohepta[]indole scaffolds are obtained under mild reaction conditions, in the absence of expensive catalysts, starting from simple reagents, in good to excellent yields and with complete diasteroselectivity. Preliminary expansion of the scope to 3-vinylindoles and to aza-oxyallyl cations is reported.

Transition-Metal-Free Direct α-Arylation of Weinreb-type Amides with Arylboronic Acids through Aza-oxyallyl Cation Intermediates.

Here, we report an efficient transition-metal-free C(sp)-C(sp) Suzuki-Miyaura-type cross-coupling between α-halo Weinreb-type amides and arylboronic acids. The reaction is carried out by capturing active aza-oxyallyl cation (AOAC) with arylboronic acid to form a boron "ate" complex, followed by 1,4-migration to give α-aryl amides with good yields.

Herein, we report the first general approach to access -alkoxy-2,2-difluoro indoxyls, via formal 3 + 2 cycloaddition of aryne and (putative) fluorinated-aza-oxyallyl cation. This transition-metal/oxidant-free transformation occurs under mild reaction conditions with a short reaction time. Mechanistic investigation indicates the possible involvement of the closed form of fluorinated-aza-oxyallyl cation, viz.

A variety of spirooxindole-1,2-oxazinan-5-one derivatives were prepared in moderate to excellent yields through 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE)-promoted [3 + 3] cycloaddition of -vinyl oxindole nitrones with oxyallyl cations generated from α-tosyloxy ketones under mild reaction conditions. Mechanistic studies revealed that [3 + 3] cycloaddition might involve two possible reaction pathways, including direct [3 + 3] cycloaddition of -vinyl oxindole ntirones with oxyallyl cations, or the addition of TFE to -vinyl oxindole nitrones, sequential addition to oxyallyl cations, elimination, and cyclization. The present method features mild reaction conditions, broad substrate scope, good functional group tolerance, easy gram scalable preparation, and new applications of TFE.

We report a new method for the regiodivergent dearomative (3 + 2) reaction between 3-substituted indoles and oxyallyl cations. Access to both regioisomeric products is possible and is contingent on the presence or absence of a bromine atom on the substituted oxyallyl cation. In this way, we are able to prepare molecules that contain highly-hindered, stereodefined, vicinal, quaternary centers.
