摘要

Reaction of 1-substituted 3-alkenyl-1H-indoles with an equimolar amount of trifluoroacetic acid in dichloromethane gave cyclic dimers, 1,3-trans-N,N'-disubstituted cyclopent[b]indoles, in 53-84% yields as sole products through an acid-mediated stereoselective cyclo-dimerization process. The structure of the cyclic dirtier derived from 3-cyclopentylidenemethyl-1-methyl-1H-indole was elucidated by X-ray crystallographic analysis.
