An Expedient New Synthesis of Substituted Carbazoles via α-Oxoketene Acetals through Heteroaromatic Annelation Methodology

TLDR
In this paper, a new general method for substituted carbazoles was developed involving base induced conjugate addition-elimination sequence of indole-3-acetonitriles 1 to various α-oxoketene S,S-,O,S- and N,Sacetals 2a-x followed by cyclization of the intermediates 3 with p -toluenesulfonic acid in refluxing benzene.

Heteroaromatic Annulation of 2-Methyl/2-Cyanomethylbenzimidazole Dianions with α-Oxoketene Dithioacetals: A Highly Regioselective Synthetic Protocol for 1,2- and 2,3-Substituted/Annulated Pyrido[1,2-a]benzimidazoles†

TL;DR: The dianion 2A derived from 2-methylbenzimidazole has been shown to undergo regioselective 1,2-addition with various alpha-oxoketene dithioacetals derived from acyclic and cyclic ketones to afford various carbinol acetals in high yields.

α-Oxoketene dithioacetals mediated heteroaromatic annulation protocol for benzoheterocycles: an efficient regiocontrolled synthesis of highly substituted and annulated indazoles

TL;DR: An efficient regiocontrolled synthesis of highly substituted and annulated indazoles involving base induced addition-elimination of 1,3-diphenyl-5-cyanomethylpyrazole to a variety of acyclic and cyclic α-oxoketene, followed by acid assisted cycloaromatization of the resulting conjugate adducts has been reported.

Efficient Syntheses of Substituted Carbazoles and Cyclopent[b]indoles from 1-Methyl-3-(benzotriazol-1-ylmethyl)indole.

TL;DR: NMR study is described to discriminate between structures of types 6 and 8 on the basis of (1)H-(13)C long-range correlation to give 1-functionalized cyclopent[b]indoles 15 and 16 with a high degree of stereoselectivity.

α-Oxoketene Dithioacetals as Intermediates for Aromatic Annelation

TL;DR: In this paper, the α-oxoketene dithioacetals of general formula 1 (Scheme 2), undergo regioselective 1,2-addition with allyl anions to afford the corresponding carbinol acetals 6 in quantitative yields, which on treatment with BF3.Et2O in refluxing benzene yield the corresponding aromatic systems.
