Herein, we unveil the first visible-light-mediated alkenylation reaction of indoles. The reaction follows a denitrative radical pathway where β-nitrostyrenes have been utilized as the alkene precursors for the C3-styrenylation of indoles under visible-light irradiation to afford biologically and synthetically important 3-alkenylindoles. High regioselectivity, absence of any photocatalyst, metal, external oxidant, acid or base, and the use of visible light and air as inexpensive clean reagents are the key highlights of the developed method.
Chiral Imidodiphosphoric Acid-Catalyzed Highly Diastereo- and Enantioselective Synthesis of Poly-Substituted 3,4-Dihydro-2 H-pyrans: [4 + 2] Cycloadditions of β,γ-Unsaturated α-Ketoesters and 3-Vinylindoles

Imidodiphosphoric acids were employed to catalyze inverse-electron-demand hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of β,γ-unsaturated α-ketoesters and 3-vinylindoles. A series of optically active 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran derivatives with three contiguous stereogenic centers was synthesized in excellent yields (70-99%), diastereoselectivities (>20:1), and enantioselectivities (73-99%). The resulting indole containing 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran could be converted to tetrahydropyran derivatives, which appear in several biological active compounds by simple hydrogenation reduction.
