Abstract
Pyrroles, indoles, and surprisingly, indolines, when equipped with a pendant malonyl group on the nitrogen atom, were effective substrates in a Mn(III)-mediated oxidative cyclization reaction, yielding the 1,2-annulated products in good to excellent yields. When indole acetonitrile was used as a substrate this method provided a rapid synthesis of a tetracyclic tronocarpine subunit.
