Abstract
Observation of an unexpected, Lewis acid promoted displacement of latent reactive γ-amino group on cyclopentenone presented unparalleled opportunity for enone functionalization and annulations with indole derivatives, which is developed in the current study. Herein, a vast range of C3/N-indolyl enones and indole alkaloid-like compound were accessed in excellent yields (up to 99 %) and selectivity through a one-pot operation. The mechanism most likely involves an unprecedented trait of Piancatelli-type rearrangement where influence of the gem-diaryl group appeared crucial.
