Abstract

A Cu(I)-catalyzed, intermolecular protocol for the synthesis of 2-amidoindoles and tetrahydroindolo[1,2-a]quinazolines in shorter time and high yields is reported. The key highlight of this disclosure is the formation of 2-amidoindole and tetrahydroindolo[1,2-a]quinazoline moieties directly from gem-dibromovinylanilides and sulfonamides in a one-pot fashion through the in situ formation of ynamides followed by a base-promoted intramolecular hydroamidation.
