Abstract
A gold-catalyzed synthesis of cyclic 2-oxodienes from readily prepared propargyl alcohols and the subsequent Diels-Alder reaction are reported. The dehydrative cyclization reactions proceeded smoothly, and the dienes formed in situ were demonstrated to undergo cycloaddition with a variety of dienophiles. This method offers a new strategy for the synthesis of indolocarbazole alkaloids, whereby the convergent synthetic design allows for differentiation between the indole nitrogens.
