Brønsted acid mediated tandem Diels-Alder/aromatization reactions of vinylindoles.
A Brønsted acid catalyzed tandem Diels-Alder/aromatization reaction of 2-vinylindoles has been developed. The reaction provides a highly efficient and concise approach to 3-indolyl-substituted tetrahydrocarbazoles with various substituents in high yields under mild conditions.
