An efficient and straightforward Lewis-acid-mediated stereoselective (4 + 3)-cyclization of indole-substituted alkylidene malonates and donor-acceptor cyclopropanes has been developed involving the Friedel-Crafts/Michael addition cyclization cascade. This reaction provides a mild and effective method for the construction of synthetically and structurally interesting functionalized cycloheptannelated indoles.
