Abstract

Catalytic cyclization-rearrangement reaction of 3-trifluoroacetyl indole and isocyanoacetate was achieved with AgOAc as catalyst in mild conditions. A serious of β-trifluoromethylated dehydrotryptophan derivatives were obtained with single Z-isomer in excellent yields (up to >99% yields). The large scale experiment proceeded smothly genereting desired products in up to 98% isolated yield, which demostrated the practicality of the method. The plausible mechanism was aslo proposed. This transformation has features of high atom economy, mild reaction condition and easy operation.
