Abstract
Herein, we described an efficient copper-catalyzed chemo-divergent tandem reaction of N-(ortho-alkynyl)aryl-pyrrole and (iso)indoles, delivering ring-fused N-heterocycles in good yields in an atom-economical manner. N-(ortho-alkynyl)aryl-pyrrole and indoles undergo the tandem cyclization/migration reaction, in which the group at 2-position was migrated to 3-position. In contrast, the dearomative cyclization of N-(ortho-alkynyl)aryl-isoindoles would occur to deliver the N-fused tetracyclic products efficiently.
