Copper-Catalyzed Activation of Dioxygen: Oxidative Cyclization of 2-Arylindoles

A series of unusual six‐ring‐fused heterocycles containing indole and quinoline skeletons was successfully synthesized by a copper‐catalyzed reaction from 2‐arylated indoles. Two new bonds were regioselectively formed from CH and CH coupling. 18O‐Labelled experiments revealed that the dioxygen is...

Zusammenfassung:A series of unusual six‐ring‐fused heterocycles containing indole and quinoline skeletons was successfully synthesized by a copper‐catalyzed reaction from 2‐arylated indoles. Two new bonds were regioselectively formed from CH and CH coupling. 18O‐Labelled experiments revealed that the dioxygen is not only the oxidant but also the reactant.
