Abstract

The reaction of indole-containing hydroxamates with aldehydes in the presence of Lewis acid leads to oxo N-acyliminium ions, which cyclize to the corresponding N-O fused [1,2]oxazino[4,5-b]indole, [1,2]oxazepino[4,5-b]indole, and [1,2]oxazocino[4,5-b]indole derivatives in good yields.

Key words

oxo N-acyliminium ions - cyclization - hydroxamate - indole - Lewis acid
