Abstract
Ni(ClO4)2·6H2O-catalysed regioselective and diastereoselective [3+2]-annulations of aryl oxiranyl-dicarboxylates and indoles via selective C–C bond cleavage of oxirane were revealed. The cycloadditions proceed smoothly with high regio- and diastereoselectivity under mild conditions leading to 1H-furo[3,4-b]indoles in good to excellent yields.
