A radical cascade via dearomative ipso -annulation of indolyl N -cyanamides: access to spiro[indoline-pyrroloquinazolinones]
Abstract
This study reports a novel acyl-radical-promoted cascade annulation of indolyl N-cyanamides to afford spiro[indoline-pyrrolo[2,1-b]quinazolinone] frameworks. The conversion proceeds through sequential acyl radical addition, dearomative ipso-annulation by the capture of the C3-radical with an N-cyano group and quinazolinone ring formation in the presence of an oxidant in a single operation. This protocol features broad substrate scope with good functional-group tolerance and represents a highly diastereo- selective atom- and step-economical platform for the assembly of complex spirocycles integrating two bioactive scaffolds, quinazolinone and indoline, from a linear precursor.
