A reductive cyclization to prepare a variety of N-heterocycles, through the use of ortho-vinylanilides, is reported. The reaction is catalyzed by an inexpensive and bench-stable iron complex and generally occurs at ambient temperature. The transformation likely proceeds through hydromagnesiation of the vinyl group, and trapping of the in situ generated benzylic anion by an intramolecular electrophile to form the heterocycle. This iron-catalyzed strategy was shown to be broadly applicable and was utilized in the synthesis of substituted indoles, oxindoles and tetrahydrobenzoazepinoindolone derivatives. Mechanistic studies indicated that the reversibility of the hydride transfer step depends on the reactivity of the tethered electrophile. The synthetic utility of our approach was further demonstrated by the formal synthesis of a reported bioactive compound and a family of natural products.
Synthesis of Aryl-Substituted 3,3a,4,5-Tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2- A [ quinolin-1(2 H)-ones and 2,3,4,4a,5,6-Hexahydro-1 H-pyrido[1,2- A [quinolin-1-ones

A new route to the title benzo-fused angular tricyclic amides 3,3a,4,5-tetrahydropyrrolo- A nd 2,3,4,4a,5,6-hexahydro-1 H-pyrido[1,2- A [quinolin-1-ones is reported from 1-(tert-butyl) 6-ethyl 3-oxohexanedioate and 1-(tert-butyl) 7-ethyl 3-oxoheptanedioate. Alkylation of these β-keto diesters with a series of 2-nitrobenzyl bromides followed by acid hydrolysis and decarboxylation gives ethyl 6-(2-nitrophenyl)-4-oxohexanoates and ethyl 7-(2-nitrophenyl)-5-oxoheptanoates, respectively. Reductive amination under hydrogenation conditions followed by ester hydrolysis and condensative ring closure affords the final lactam products. The reactions proceed cleanly and only two chromatographic purifications are required.

Rh2(II)-Carboxylate complexes were discovered to promote the selective migration of aminomethylenes in β,β-disubstituted styryl azides to form 2,3-disubstituted indoles. Mechanistic data are also presented that suggest that the migration occurs stepwise before diffusion of the iminium ion.
