โฆ Synopsis
Intermolecular cycloadditions of five-membered cyclic carbonyl ylides 3 with indole, N-methylindole and N-benzylindole afforded decahydrobenzo[c]carbazole 4a-f or decahydrocyclopenta[c]carbazole 4g-h derivatives with high regioselectivity.
With N-benzoylindole and N-sulphonylindole, decahydrobenzo[c]carbazoles 4i,j and the regioisomer decahydrobenzo[a]carbazoles 5i,j are isolated. The electron withdrawing substituent reduces both regioselectivity and reactivity of the cycloadditions. This methodology generated oxa-bridged (unnatural) decahydrobenzocarbazole derivatives with complete control of four stereocenters.
