Tandem Prins cyclization for the synthesis of indole fused spiro-1,4-diazocane scaffolds†
Abstract
A novel strategy has been developed for the synthesis of indole fused spiro-1,4-diazocane derivatives. Using a tandem Prins cyclization, this is the first report on the synthesis of eight-membered spirodiazocane scaffolds, which are less accessible due to ring strain but more relevant to drug discovery.
