Azido-Alkynes in Gold(I)-Catalyzed Indole Syntheses.

The exploitation of nitrogen-functionalized reactive intermediates plays an important role in the synthesis of biologically relevant scaffolds in the field of pharmaceutical sciences. Those based on gold carbenes carry a strong potential for the design of highly efficient cascade processes toward the synthesis of compounds containing a fused indole core structure. This personal account gives a detailed explanation of our contribution to this sector, and embraces the reaction development of efficient gold-catalyzed cascade processes based on diversely functionalized azido-alkynes. Challenging cyclizations and their subsequent application in the synthesis of pharmaceutically relevant scaffolds and natural products conducted in an intra- or intermolecular fashion are key features of our research. © 2021 The Chemical Society of Japan & Wiley-VCH GmbH.
