Abstract

In the presence of copper sulfate, the three or four-component reactions of 2-methylindole, aromatic aldehydes and various cyclic dienophiles in refluxing toluene afforded diverse spirotetrahydrocarbazoles. This reaction is a important development of Levy reaction by using 2-methylindole to replacing ethyl indole-2-acetate and successfully provided facile access to important polysubstituted spiro[carbazole-3,3'-indolines], spiro[carbazole-2,3'-indolines], spiro[carbazole-3,5'-pyrimidines] and spiro[carbazole-3,1'-cycloalkanes] in satisfactory yields and with high diastereoselectivity.

Keywords: Tetrahydrocarbazole; indole;  spirooxindole; indolo-2,3-quinodimethane; Diels-Alder reaction;  Levy reaction. .
