A convenient
approach to [1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3′,4′:5,6]pyrazino[2,3-b]indoles and their heteroannulated analogues bearing various
aryl substituents in the backbone has been developed. This synthetic
protocol is based on Pd-catalyzed Buchwald–Hartwig and subsequent
annulation by intramolecular oxidative cyclodehydrogenation. The photophysical
properties for new polycycles have been measured.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
