Gold(I)-Catalyzed Synthesis of 3-Sulfenyl Pyrroles and Indoles by a Regioselective Annulation of Alkynyl Thioethers.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The combination of nucleophilic nitrenoids and π-acid catalysis has emerged as a powerful tool in heterocycle synthesis. Accessing more varied heterocycle-substitution patterns by maintaining the same reaction pathways across different alkynes remains a challenge. Here we show that Au(I) catalysis of isoxazole-based nitrenoids with alkynyl thioethers provides controlled access to (3 + 2) annulation by a regioselective addition β to the sulfenyl group. The reaction with isoxazole-containing nitrenoids delivers sulfenylated pyrroles and indoles as single regioisomers bearing useful functional groups and structural variety.
