Tandem reaction of indolyl nitrones with 2–methylene carbonate under Rh(III)–catalysis
Functionalized carbazole is one of the important topics in drug discovery and material science, which is synthesized in special nitrogen heterocycles. We report here the rhodium(III) catalytic cross-coupling reaction between indolyl nitron and 2-methyldene cyclic carbonate as an allyl substituent. This reaction forms C2-modified carbazole in addition to tandem C-H allylation, exo [3 + 2] cycle, aromaticization, and benzyl oxidation. The synthetic advantage of this protocol is highlighted by the various modifications of C2-modified carbazoles.
