Abstract
A number of substituted thieno[3,2-e]indoles have been prepared in high yields via a tetrabutylammonium fluoride mediated cyclization of 5-acetamido-4-ethynylbenzothiophenes, which, in turn, are easily accessible from the corresponding 4-iodobenzothiophenes. This method presents a viable alternative to the traditionally used Fischer indolization procedures.
Key words
thienoindoles - palladium - cyclizations - fused-ring systems - tetrabutylammonium fluoride
