Efficient Synthesis of Tetrahydro-β-carbolin-1-one and Dihydroisoquinolin-1-one Derivatives as Versatile Intermediates
Publication History
Publication Date:
14 July 2009 (online)

Abstract
An efficient one-pot procedure is described in which an isocyanate intermediate, generated from the corresponding carboxylic acid by a modified Curtius rearrangement, is captured by a tethered aromatic ring in the presence of BF3˙OEt2 to generate various lactams, including tetrahydro-β-carbolin-1-one and dihydroisoquinolin-1-one derivatives.
Key words
cyclizations - heterocycles - lactams - Lewis acids - rearrangements
