title: A domino amidation route to indolines and indoles: rapid syntheses of anhydrolycorinone, hippadine, oxoassoanine, and pratosine.
abstract: [reaction: see text] When subjected to palladium-catalyzed amidation conditions, 2-triflyloxy phenethyl carbonates undergo, in addition to the expected aryl cross-coupling, an additional amidation with net displacement of the carbonate. The result is a one-step synthesis of indolines which may be oxidized to indoles. The utility of the procedure is illustrated by the two- or three-step syntheses of anhydrolycorinone, hippadine, oxoassoanine, and pratosine.
