Abstract
Biologically useful 7-azaindoles were synthesized by electrophilic cyclization of 3-alkynyl-N,N-dimethylpyridine-2-amines with molecular iodine. By this simple atom-economical approach under ambient reaction conditions, a library of interesting 3-iodo-7-azaindoles were synthesized in high yields. To synthesize the corresponding 3-bromo- and 3-chloro-7-azaindoles, an environmentally benign copper-mediated cyclization was employed, with inexpensive, nontoxic, and noncorrosive sodium chloride and sodium bromide as the sources of chlorine and bromine, respectively.
