Abstract

An efficient decarboxylative cycloaddition of 2,3-dioxopyrrolidines and ethynyl benzoxazinanones has been established by cooperative copper/amine catalysis. A copper– allenylidene complex and enolate intermediate, each catalytically generated from distinct substrates, underwent a cascade propargylation/hydroamination/aromatization process to construct a big library of cyclopenta[b]indole derivatives with good to excellent yields and excellent diastereoselectivity.

Keywords: Cooperative catalysis, cascade reaction, cyclopenta[b]indole, ethynyl benzoxazinanone, 2, 3-dioxopyrrolidine, copper– allenylidene.
