Abstract
A Cu(OAc)2-promoted cascade reaction of malonate-tetherd acyl oximes with indoles, indole-2-alcohols, or indole-2-carboxmides provides facile access to polysubstituted 3-pyrrolin-2-ones. The reaction features the generation of two adjacent electrophilic centers at the same time as cyclization to lactam. The subsequent double addition with nucleophiles followed by oxidation realizes the difunctionalization of the imine sp2-carbon and the adjacent α-sp3-carbon.
