Synthesis of the Azocino[<i>cd</i>]indole Framework through Pd‐Catalyzed Intramolecular Acetylene Hydroarylation

Abstract

Abstract The regio‐ and stereoselective construction of the azocino[ cd ]indole core was achieved by applying a Pd‐catalyzed intramolecular acetylene hydroarylation protocol. The applicability of a similar strategy for the synthesis of the azepino[ b ]indole framework is demonstrated.
