摘要

A divergent reactivity of alpha-azidochalcones with metal beta-diketonates for the synthesis of substituted pyrroles and indoles is described. Metal beta-diketonates have been applied as bifunctional reactive partners. With a copper complex, the synthesis of substituted pyrroles in micellar media via 2H-azirine intermediates has been achieved under mild conditions, while with Fe(acac)(2) as a catalyst, the reaction proceeds smoothly to yield indoles regioselectively.
