ChemInform Abstract: A New Approach to 1‐Substituted β‐Carbolines and Isoquinolines Utilizing Tributyl[(Z)‐2‐ethoxyvinyl]stannane as a C‐3,C‐4 Building Block.

Abstract

The title approach starts from the Weinreb amides of readily available indole‐2‐carboxylic acids or 2‐bromobenzoic acid, followed by acylation, bromination, Stille coupling, and ring closure steps.
