Key words

gold - oxazinoindoles - hydroamination

Significance

The authors developed a gold-catalyzed hydroamination followed by an asymmetric nucleophilic allylic substitution cascade to access oxazino[4,3-a]indoles in good yields and enantio­selectivities. Owing to pharmacologically active indole alkaloids, this rapid synthesis and asymmetric decoration of the polycyclic indolyl core is highly important.

Comment

Amazingly, the stereodifferentiating event in this gold-catalyzed asymmetric domino process takes place at the late stage, which is somewhat unusual and more challenging. Extensive mechanistic studies support the stepwise SN2′-type mechanism for the final allylic alkylation ring closure (cycle II).
