Abstract

A novel methodology for stereoselective synthesis of benzo[b]indolo[3,2,1-de]acridines through the tandem reaction of propargylic compounds with organoboron is described, and only one diastereoisomer was obtained. The sequential procedure was triggered by Pd(0)-catalyzed allenylation of propargyl carbonate. Then, Diels-Alder cyclization and hydrogen migration processes proceeded successively to furnish the polycyclic target molecules. Control reactions suggested the base (Cs2CO3) was indispensable for the hydrogen migration.
