Synthesis of New 2,4-Disubstituted 2,3-Dihydrobenzo[g]indol-5-ones by an S_RN1 Strategy

Abstract

An original and short synthesis of substituted 2,3-dihydrobenzo[g]indol-5-ones by S_RN1-mediated synthesis of 2-nitroalkyl-substituted­ naphthalene-1,4-diones followed by a one-pot reduction–cyclization reaction is reported.

Key words

quinones - electron transfer - cyclization - heterocycles - 2,3-dihydrobenzo[g]indol-5-one
