Synthesis of 4- and 6-Azaindoles via the Fischer Reaction

Abstract: Contrary to the common idea that Fischer indole cyclization often cannot be effectively applied to the synthesis of the corresponding azaindoles, we show that this approach can be actually very efficient for the formation of 4- and 6-azaindoles bearing an electron-donating group on the starting pyridylhydrazines. Two 4-azaindole natural product analogues were synthesized in a few steps and very good overall yields.

“…This strategy for the synthesis of azaindoles was previously evaluated with cyclic ketones 13. We were interested in using cyclic 1,3‐diones, as this could give an efficient synthesis of azacarbazolone derivatives.…”

“…To further extend the potential of the aza‐Fischer reaction, we replaced the methoxy or methylsulfonyl group13 on the pyridine ring by a halogen, to allow further metal‐catalyzed cross‐coupling reactions, aromatic nucleophilic substitutions, metalation reactions,16 etc. on the desired azaindole products.…”

“…16 Using this method, Suzenet and co-workers obtained recently a convenient access to 2,3-bisalkyles-4-azaindoles. 17 However, they never tried to incorporate simultaneously two (het)aryl moieties in both C-2 and C-3 positions.…”
