Abstract

A selective catalytic route to benzofurans and indoles from similar starting materials has been developed. A two-step protocol that involves a transition-metal-catalyzed domino Sonogashira coupling between 2-ethynylanilines and 2-iodophenols followed by selective O- and N-cyclizations afforded 2-(benzofuran-2-yl)anilines and 2-(indol-2-yl)phenols, respectively. The 2-(benzofuran-2-yl)anilines were further utilized in a Lewis acid catalyzed Pictet–Spengler-type cyclization to prepare the oxa analogues of isocryptolepine.
