Abstract

An approach to dihydroindoles and tetrahydroquinolines from N-alkenylated 2-acylamino-3-furancarbonitriles via a [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction is described. Thermal treatment of N-alkenylated 2-acylamino-3-furancarbonitriles 5a-d, 6a-d, 9a-d, and 10a-d, which were prepared from 2-acylamino-3-furancarbonitriles 3a-d and/or 4a-d and 4-bromo-1-butene and/or 5-bromo-1-pentene, caused an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction to give the corresponding dihydroindole and tetrahydroquinoline derivatives 7a-d, 8a-d, 11a-d, and 12a-d. This method has the advantage of easier work-up procedure.
