Abstract
The reaction of substituted (2-aminobenzyl)triphenylphosphonium bromides with aromatic aldehydes or alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes constitutes a new synthesis of 2,3-disubstitued indoles in high yields. The adduct from 4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazoline-2-carbaldehyde was an advanced intermediate in the synthesis of several rutaecarpines.
This study presents a flexible synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted indoles from aminobenzyl phosphonium salts, leading to the direct synthesis of rutaecarpine in high yields.
