Abstract
Herein, we report an acid-controlled highly tunable selectivity of Rh(III)-catalyzed [4 + 2] and [3 + 3] annulations of N-carboxamide indoles with iodonium ylides lead to form synthetically important tricyclic and tetracyclic N-heterocycles. Here, iodonium ylide serves as a carbene precursor. The protocol proceeds under operationally simple conditions and provides novel tricyclic and tetracyclic scaffolds such as 3,4-dihydroindolo[1,2-c]quinazoline-1,6(2H,5H)-dione and 1H-[1,3]oxazino[3,4-a]indol-1-one derivatives with a broad range of functional group tolerance and moderate to excellent yields. Furthermore, the protocol synthetic utility was extended for various chemical transformations and was easily scaled up to a large-scale level.
