A general approach to construct selenopheno[3,2-b]indole-cored molecules using Fischer indolization

Abstract

A wide series of various selenopheno[3,2-b]indole-based compounds, including 2-aryl-substituted selenopheno[3,2-b]indoles as well as derivatives of benzo[4,5]selenopheno[3,2-b]indole, pyrido[3',2':4,5]selenopheno[3,2-b]indole, pyrazino[2',3':4,5]selenopheno[3,2-b]indole and chromeno[3',4':4,5]selenopheno[3,2-b]indol-6-one were prepared from the appropriate 3-aminoselenophen-2-carboxylates according one-pot two-step procedure...
