Abstract

An efficient strategy has been developed for the synthesis of indole derivatives containing the tetrazole moiety using a AuCl₃-catalyzed cyclization reaction. The precursors of the cycloadduct were easily prepared by an Ugi-azide 4-CR in methanol at room temperature. The merit of this protocol lies in its operational simplicity, readily available starting materials, high yields of product, and good functional group tolerance.

Key words

Ugi-azide post-transformation strategy - metal catalyzed alkyne cyclization - heterocyclization - indole - tetrazole

26 HRMS data were collected using an Apex-QC-FT- ICR instrument with ESI. General Procedure for the Synthesis of Compounds 5a–i 2-(Phenylethynyl)aniline in MeOH (5 ml) and cyclohexanone (1 mmol) were stirred at room temperature for 2 h, then the requisite isocyanide (1 mmol) and trimethylsilyl azide were added. The mixture was stirred for 24 h until the reaction was completed. Then, the desired product was either filtered off as a white solid filtered for 5a–e (ketone derivatives) or purified using column chromatography on silica gel (n-hexane/EtOAc, 9:1) for 5f–i (aldehyde derivatives). The yields were in the range of 75–92%. General Procedure for the Synthesis of Compounds 6a–i The products 5a–i (1mmol) and AuCl₃ (5 mol%, 15 mg) were added to a reaction flask containing toluene (10 mL). After 12 h the toluene was evaporated under reduced pressure. The crude products were purified by silica gel chromatography (n-hexane/EtOAc, 7:1) to obtain the indole derivatives.
