Copper-catalyzed decarboxylative propargylation/hydroamination reactions: access to C3 β-ketoester-functionalized indoles†
Abstract
A copper-catalyzed reaction of ethynyl benzoxazinanones with readily accessible β-ketoesters via a decarboxylative propargylation/hydroamination sequence has been developed. This protocol furnished a diverse range of C3 β-ketoester-functionalized indoles in good to excellent yields.
