The first examples of (3 + 2) annulations between azaoxyallyl cations and cyanamides and nitriles to give the corresponding 2-aminoimidazolones and imidazolones are reported. On the basis of the isolation of unexpected imidate products with certain substr

Herein, we report the first examples of the synthesis of pyrroloindolines by means of (3 + 2) dearomative annulation reactions between 3-substituted indoles and highly reactive azaoxyallyl cations. Computational studies using density functional theory (DFT) (B3LYP-D3/6-311G++) support a stepwise reaction pathway in which initial C-C bond formation takes place at C3 of indole, followed by ring closure to give the observed products. Insights gleaned from these calculations indicate that the solvent, either TFE or HFIP, can stabilize the transition state through H-bonding interactions with oxygen of the azaoxyallyl cation and other relevant intermediates, thereby increasing the rates of these reactions.
