ChemInform Abstract: Cycloadditions to (b)Anellated Indole Derivatives. Part 3. (4+2)Cycloaddition to 1′-Phenyl-Substituted 3-Vinylindoles with N-Phenylmaleimide: An Access to New (a)Anellated Carbazole Derivatives.
Abstract
The vinylindoles (I) react with N-phenylmaleimide (II) to give the carbazoles (III) with predominance of the endo-isomer.
