title: Copper-catalyzed cascade azidation-cyclization of tryptophols and tryptamines.
abstract: The copper-catalyzed cascade azidation-cyclization of tryptophols and tryptamines has been developed. This cascade reaction uses readily available and cheap sodium azide as a nitrogen source to gave 3-azido furoindolines and pyrrolidinoindolines under mild reaction conditions.
