Copper-catalyzed (4+3)-cycloaddition of 4-indolylcarbinols with aziridines: stereoselective synthesis of azepinoindoles

Chem Commun (Camb). 2024 Oct 15;60(83):12008-12011. doi: 10.1039/d4cc03544e.

Abstract

Copper(I)-catalyzed (4+3)-cycloaddition of 4-indolylcarbinols with aziridines has been accomplished to furnish azepinoindoles. The chirality transfer, substrate scope, functional group tolerance, natural product modification and tandem C-C/C-N bond formation are the important practical features.
