The metal-guided method described in the text allows for the divergent synthesis of ketone-fused indoles/pyrroles from N-(2-alkynylaryl) lactam, using regioswitchable Friedel-Crafts cyclization of acylium. The method offers wide substrate scopes, high atom economy, and step economy, making it suitable for the synthesis of structure-related bioactive compounds.
A metal-guided method for divergent synthesis of ketone-fused indoles/pyrroles from N-(2-alkynylaryl) lactam is described. The reaction is proposed to proceed through a regioswitchable Friedel-Crafts cyclization of acylium. The obvious advantages are wide substrate scopes, high atom economy and step economy, which have a great potential in the synthesis of structure-related bioactive compounds.
