title: Au-Catalyzed Synthesis of Thiopyrano[2,3-b]indoles Featuring Tandem Rearrangement and Hydroarylation.
abstract: Gold(III)-catalyzed synthesis of 14-π electron heteroaromatic thiopyrano[2,3-b]indole is reported using conjugated enyne tethered indole sulfides, featuring skeletal rearrangement conjoined with intramolecular hydroarylation (via C3-H functionalization of the indole core) and oxidative aromatization. Subsequent Pd-catalyzed C-C coupling resulted in a 16-π electron heteroaromatic isothiochromeno[1,8,7-bcd]indole.
