Abstract
An atom economical approach for the synthesis of α-carbolin-4-ones has been developed. This process was realized via a C-N bond cleavage/intramolecular amination cascade. During this process, one C-N and one C-C bond are cleaved and two C-N and two C-C bonds are formed. Mechanistic studies suggested a migrative N-cyclization process involving a carbene intermediate.
