Abstract

A highly diastereoselective Lewis acid (BF3·Et2O or TiCl4) induced [3+2] cycloaddition of substituted and unsubstituted indoles with 2-arylcyclopropyl ketones/diesters yielding cyclopenta[b]indoles in high yields is reported. This methodology has also been extended to tetrahydrocarbazole, cyclopenta[b]- and cyclohepta[b]indoles affording tetracyclic propellane type frameworks in modest yields.
