Abstract
The reaction of readily accessible (3-furyl)allylamines with maleic anhydride, followed by a domino sequence involving acylation/cycloaddition/proton shift steps, led to the formation of furo[2,3-f]isoindoles—the aza-analogs of pinguisane-type sesquiterpenes. The key intramolecular Diels–Alder vinylfuran (IMDAV) reaction proceeded under mild conditions, with high levels of diastereoselectivity and satisfactory yields.
