  • Title: Synthesis of polycyclic tertiary carbinamines by samarium diiodide mediated cyclizations of indolyl sulfinyl imines.
    Author: Rao CN, Lentz D, Reissig HU.
    Journal: Angew Chem Int Ed Engl; 2015 Feb 23; 54(9):2750-3. PubMed ID: 25605534.
    Abstract:
    Samarium diiodide mediated cyclizations of N-acylated indole derivatives bearing sulfinyl imine moieties afforded polycyclic tertiary carbinamines with moderate to excellent diastereoselectivities. Lithium bromide and water turned out to be the best additives to achieve these transformations in good yields. Using enantiopure sulfinyl imines the outcome strongly depends on the reactivity of the indole moiety. Whereas with unactivated indole derivatives desulfinylation and formation of racemic products was observed, indoles bearing electron-withdrawing substituents at C-3 afforded the polycyclic products with intact N-sulfinyl groups and with excellent diastereoselectivity, finally allowing the preparation of enantiopure tertiary carbinamines. The mechanisms of these processes are discussed.
