Synthesis of 2-alkylidenepyrrolidines, pyrroles, and indoles by condensation of silyl enol ethers and 1,3-bis-silyl enol ethers with 1-azido-2,2-dimethoxyethane and subsequent reductive cyclization

The condensation of 1,3-bis-silyl enol ethers with 1-azido-2,2- dimethoxyethane and subsequent reductive cyclization allowed an efficient regio- and diastereoselective synthesis of a variety of 2-alkylidene-4- methoxypyrrolidines. The thermal elimination of methanol resulted in the formation of functionalized pyrroles. Similarly, 2,3,3a,4,5,6-hexahydro-2,3- benzopyrroles were prepared and transformed into 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2,3- benzopyrroles. In contrast, treatment of 2-alkylidenepyrrolidines with trifluoroacetic acid resulted in formation of indoles by [4 + 2] cycloaddition and subsequent extrusion of a nitrogen atom.
