Significance

Starting from a common chiral 2-cyano-6-oxazolopiperidine precursor, regio- and stereoselective routes to four structurally different indolyldiamines are reported. The reaction sequence involves a reductive and alkylative ring enlargement process and proceeds in low to modest overall yields. Its significance is in the rapid access of diverse analogues of known alkaloids.
