Abstract

An efficient procedure for the synthesis of the azocinoACHTUNGTRENUNG[5,4- b]indole framework is presented, relying on a cationic gold-catalyzed intramolecular alkyne hydroarylation of propargylic amides derived from various tryptamines and 3-substituted 2- propynoic acids. The triphenylphosphinegold(I) chloride/silver(I) triflate catalytic system was found to be superior to our previously described mercury( II) triflate catalyst, and hence the substrate scope of the process was significantly expanded.
