Abstract
3-Nitro-1-(phenylsulfonyl)indole undergoes addition of aryl- and hetaryllithium nucleophiles to produce 2-substituted-3-nitroindoles. Mild reductive―acylation provides excellent access to 3-amido-2-hetarylindoles from which new thieno[3,2-c]-δ-carbolines are synthesized by cyclodehydration.
