Abstract
Trimethylsilyl iodide (TMSI) is introduced as an efficient reagent for the one-pot synthesis of 9-(1H-indol-3-yl)xanthen-4-(9H)-ones using the reaction of 2-methoxybenzaldehydes (as O-methyl protected salicylaldehydes), indoles, and β-dicarbonyl compounds. In this protocol, a set of TMSI reactions involving silylation, silyl enol ether formation, methyl deprotection, and nucleophilic substitution/cyclization are performed to furnish the target product. The key step in this protocol is the deprotection of the methoxy group by TMSI.
